I haven’t gotten this sucked into a book in a while! I have been a huge consumer of true crime for years now, so this book was right up my alley. It’s a unique blend of true crime and fiction that I have never encountered before. The author wrote about Ted Bundy, but only refers to him as “The Defendant”. In doing so, she is stripping him of his power. Everyone knows who Ted Bundy is. But do we know his victims? This story follows two women. One a witness of the Chi Omega sorority murders, and one a (fictionalized) victim herself. The author weaves actual facts into the story by keeping places, times, and even quotes the same. All she changes is the names of some of the victims. I absolutely loved this. I loved how the author put such an emphasis on the women involved in the case and made it very clear that she hated the media’s portrayal of him as an attractive, bright, young man. The only thing I was a little confused about is why she kept some of the victims names the same and changed others. Why not just change them all? I have seen some criticize the fact that this was too closely based on a real case and that the author should have just created a fictional crime to write about. I actually liked that the book was somewhat factual because it brought to light what actually happened. I can totally see why some people would not like that, though.
