5.0

The storytelling and writing are captivating. Though I have complicated feelings about the characters, I can’t stop thinking about this. 

Do I have strong feelings about this book because I graduated from high school the same year as the narrator and it felt unsettlingly personal? Or because I’ve listened to true crime podcasts? Or because I went to college in New England? Or because the litany of news stories sprinkled throughout the book are so familiar? 

This didn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I found it compelling and fascinating.
