True Crime
by Samantha Kolesnik
WOW
what I expected was a shameless “fuck the world” blood fest with a twisted ending
what I got? Literally made me put my book down and reevaluate myself and the situations I’ve been in and how I, as a survivor, compare to the protagonist. Obviously I’m not going on murdering people but there were some moments where I was like “yeah…I get how you feel”. It really got to me. This book in general really got to me and honestly, this may be the best attempt at making a morally reprehensible person someone you wanna root for imo. I really wanted Suzy to turn a new leaf despite everything. I almost threw my IPad during the last bit because yeah, I knew she could never just magically become a saint but goddamnit…
Anyway, this book is definitely disturbing but not just because it’s a gore fest (honestly, there rly is little gore though there is murder and other traditional fucked up stuff like (C)SA and animal abuse) but because of the exploration of the mc’s mind. Urgh, this might be one of my fav books ever but I’m never reading it again.
