Tell Me Everything

I'm very conflicted about this book. In a lot of ways, I couldn't stop listening to it and found it fascinating. I know some folks dislike the idea of a “true crime memoir” and see it as exploiting someone else's trauma for personal gain. But so much of this is about the author's own experience and it made sense that she was working through that while working the case.

It's a three star for me because of some of the ways she talked about the survivors and Daisy in particular. Krouse seems weirdly obsessed with Daisy's weight and Asian American identity in a weird, fetishistic way. She's so surprised that Daisy could be sexy and powerful even if she's “overweight” and noting in the epilogue that she is “skinny now.” It was just so weird and unnecessary that it took me out of the narrative every time Daisy appeared.
