My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf
5.0

Rating: 4.75 (rounded up for GR)

This story was very mind-warping. Many know the story of Jeffrey Dahmer and the atrocities that he committed, but seeing it from the perspective of his classmate felt surreal. When you imagine the life of a serial killer, you ask yourself how nobody saw the signs. This book gives a realistic front-row seat to how Jeffrey went so long unnoticed and how unreal it must have felt to those who were around him.
