3.0
There is no doubt that this is a good book, particularly for those who are interested in very intense literary fiction. This covers, in some detail, different aspects about the serial killer Babysitter's case. Taking place in 1977, following a housewife who is used to the rich side of life and the start of an affair. It's a combination of the two stories, really.
This books says a lot about so many hot topics but while the author is showing and telling the different sides to this story it comes with a lot of triggering details.
I had a really hard time reading this one.
Trigger Warnings for: Racism, Child sexual assault, murder, violence, rape... also I just want to add that there is a lot of disturbing imagery.
