Wow….jessica Knoll. I love women writing about women… we have a different way to understand one another and I think it’s beautiful.
A true crime book that gives no attention to the killer other than to make people understand how dumb and disgusting he truly was.
I was hesitant at first when I read that it was inspired by true events. But the way jessica put the entire focus on these women understanding who they were before and after the tragedy is something so fascinating I can’t begin explaining. I love the way it denounces society’s role in the families of the victims pain and how so many people were complicit in hurting these women. I had the pleasure of reading this book while listening to the audiobook…Do yourself a favor and do the same!!! The voice actors performed so well and helped me through this journey. Loved this book!!
