A review by hgejfmw
Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

4.5

while parts of this novel didn’t sit right with me (fictionalising a real story and changing things around to fit your plot), the book itself made me ache. it’s a beautifully written book about the women we look past in these horrifying events, about what their lives were supposed to be. this man was nothing but vile, but why do we focus on men like the defendant? 

if you’re looking for a historical novel based on these real life murders, this isn’t it - but, if you want a read that’ll make you ache for the loss of these lives (and ones similar to it) this may be for you.
