Thank you to Netgalley for the Earc in exchange for an honest review.
If you love books with an unlikeable main character you should pick up this book. Roach is quite possibly the worst character I've read from the perspective of. She shows the worst of the true crime community and how it can affect victims and their families negatively. I did struggle to rate this as while I did appreciate the commentary regarding true crime I did struggle to read it as I'm not that big if a fan of unlikeable main characters.
