Part memoir and part true crime investigation, this was a really interesting and engaging book! The audiobook is well read, and I'm so glad I picked this one up!

This reads more like a memoir than true crime coverage.  It is a real middle of the road book for me.  I was very interested in the subject and wanted to learn more about the case, but I think I’d have learned more about it if I’d done my own research (which I will now do).

The timelines felt a little disjointed which took away from the way the different story lines and her processing moved together. I also wish there was a little more background on Title IX, though I appreciate that the author included a reflection on the current state of it (Betsy Devos, etc.) in the epilogue. I think this is a really unique story of sexual violence survival as Erika processes her trauma through this case, and much of it was very moving as I was also able to see myself in some of her reflections. I just wish the execution was more well-rounded overall.

I’m a bit surprised that this has such mixed reviews, as I found this memoir  to be a skillful blend of true crime and personal memoir. Let me say this, though, if you are coming to Tell Me Everything expecting intense true crime THIS IS NOT THE BOOK. This novel is just as much about Krouse’s own experiences as it is the case itself, but I don’t think it should be discredited for this fact. Is it a perfect book with a flawless investigation? No, but that’s what makes it human. I appreciate Krouse’s recognition that her personal history is what made her a unique fit for this case, despite the hardships she faced and the mistakes she made along the way.
