Bright Young Women

I wouldn't call myself a true crime fan but I do find the psychology of serial killers interesting, so when I saw that Jessica Knoll was releasing a book from the victim's POV of an infamous serial killer, I was immediately interested. This book grabbed my attention from the start and I thought it was cool that the author didn't once name who the killer was, but you knew exactly who it was. As my first of this author's books, I didn't know what to expect when it came to writing style and character work, but I really enjoyed it! It did take me far too long to connect who a specific character was in both of the POVs, but I blame myself for that more than the author. I didn't really know what the point of the side POV was until I made that connection and it did lower my enjoyment. I remember thinking “I wish this was two separate books following each of these characters” because I was so interested in both but had no idea how they connected. Overall, this book kept me hooked and I read it in two sittings, and I was still invested in the story despite obviously knowing the ending. It did make me more interested in this author's backlist and I'll probably go back and check them out.
