Mel (Epic Reading)’s Reviews > Bright Young Women > Status Update

Sometimes I lament if a book takes me longer to read than expected. Like this one. I know it has taken longer because it’s that good.
Bright Young Women is so real. A truly disturbing tale. The kind that can only come from truth. One that bares societies fucked up obsession with killers in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable. A truth we don’t want to admit; we’re obsessed with psychopaths over victims.

Interesting that this author has held to the narrative (so far) that Colorado sheriff should have followed protocol properly instead of taking ‘credit’ and prosecuting his local murder before the other charges from other jurisdictions were fulfilled. Then Bundy would have been in a more secure facility; thus never escaped to murder the Florida gals.
How unbelievably frustrating. Toxic masculinity at play.

Superb writing!

A very strong narrative voice!

Okay… I’m finally cracking this one… I’m nervous but reminding myself I just have to read about it; the women victims had to live it. The least I can do is read about (a fictionalization of) their real-life horror.
