The antidote to true crime, this story of a serial killer shifts the focus to the women whose lives orbit his. It shifts between his and their perspectives over the years, laying then all bear. The book is solemn, moody, and interesting.

The cover and title brought me into this wild weird book, and it was way more fun than I even expected. This is a crazy, fun, feminist fast read. The first half of the story reads like a funny critique of The Bachelor type reality shows, and the second half is...I don't even know how to describe it. Wild. Batshit. Bonkers. I am afraid to talk more as I don't want to spoil it, but it was so entertaining.
