I find it strange just how closely the story follows the Manson family yet leaves out some of the more unique elements of what really happenend and how Mansons own motivations and cult techniques. It therefore lacks a  nuanced explantion or reflection on why many young people in particular young girls tortured and murdered people in the real Manson family. This feels a dis service to those murdered and their friends and family. I would have preferred it if it had taken more artistic licences to explore the themes it explored, how evie got involved more time to explore how it has impacted. It needed more depth otherwise it's borders on futher exploitation of the suffering of their victims.

This book was a train wreck I could not look away from. Beautiful writing, intriguing plot, insightful characters, and a gruesome dedication to detail that made it impossible for me to put this book down.
