I didn't expect to love this as much as I did - while I've consumed a lot of true crime, I often find the narrative surrounding it very icky and cringey. However, this was a great and lighthearted romance with great banter, but also some really great exploration of darker themes such as grief, academic success, and complex relationships with parents.
