I was fully invested in this book! Bright Young Women is true crime fiction retelling of Ted Bundy, but starlights on  the female victims of his violent crimes. This book was very emotional, it's about sisterhood, love, determination and tragedy. I loved the Dual POVs and timelines. I loved how you grew with Pamela, and you really feel her struggles dealing with the tragedy in her sorority house and how she overcomes it. Ruth was also a strong character that I enjoyed hearing about her growth and accomplishments. I loved how Knoll ties together all the characters in the story, even throughout the multiple timelines. I really felt for all the victims by the end of the book. What a great read!
