I really struggled with this one. I didnāt find myself invested in the story or characters so I had a hard time following along. I just might not have been the right audience for this book.

An introduction to the True Crime genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

I can see the vision, but hated the execution.
The bad:
I took up highlighting every product placement/pop culture reference/celeb name drop. There were a lot. This book could have been sponsored by Panera, and if I have to read one more reference to Gilmore Girls, I'm going to lose it.
The characters are incredibly self-aware, in a way that irritated me. I think it was to make Mikey more sympathetic, but it just pissed me off. "Deep down, I'm not this kind of person. Even though I say and do everything that shows everyone that I am. But really, it's just my mommy and daddy issues." Lots of telling/not showing. Every aspect was spelled out, no room for interpretation or discovering who this character is on your own. And I cannot stand someone who unironically says that they've "resigned themselves to a life of leisure". Children are starving, Mikey. Go to therapy, you can afford it.
Somehow gay and homophobic at the same time??
Instalove. -10/10, very little relationship development outside of a few chats and a lot of sex.
The good: The last ~ 40% was fun. I liked the way it wrapped up, and I could see where the story could have been fantastic. The first half was just trying way too hard, and it wasn't landing.
