As a reformed true crime fan, this novel was a bit on the nose. Roach bothered the shit out of me, while Laura was a perfect foil that still bothered me. All in all, I tore through this book though. Through all the gross details that had me shaking my head, I’m glad it ended the way it did.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Addiction, Death, Gore, Stalking, and Death of parent
