5.0

A wonderfully written book exploring the dangers of teenage minds and the overconsumption of true crime for entertainment purposes. Although fictional, it feels like a non fictional read. The book starts with Joni's horrific murder and then goes into interviews to build up character portfolios of Joni and her murderers.
