Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

5.0

Bright Young Women is a fictionalized retelling of the Ted Bundy murders that took place in Florida in the seventies. I took so much away from this novel and was deeply impacted by many of the characters, particularly Ruth. The way she grappled with the trauma inflicted upon her by her mother really resonated with me. This was an extremely moving novel, and while I loved its queer perspectives, I do wish the author included more diverse characters. I can only read about rich, white Ivy League students for so long.
