Thanks to NetGalley, Bloomsbury Publishing, and Nicola Maye Goldberg for the opportunity to read and review this book - 4 stars for an intriguing look into how the murder of a college student affects so many lives.
Supposedly based on a true story although no information was presented about that case, this is the story of the murder of Sara by her boyfriend, Blake. Blake was a schizophrenic and was ruled temporarily insane when he committed the murder. We hear from many voices, all with ties back to either Sara or Blake, and how this death and these two people affected their lives.
This book was told in a rather unusual manner. There was no delineation between each of the stories; they all flowed together so it sometimes took awhile to figure out who the next voice was and how they related to the story. Thank goodness for my Kindle search feature because I used it many times to try and remember what role a certain person played.
This was a haunting tale. Not a thriller or mystery - you knew right away who killed Sara. Not true crime but each story felt very real. There was also the theme throughout the book of crimes committed against women by men.
