Our kind of cruelty

I picked up this book based on only what the blurb told me because it ticked a few boxes - unreliable narrator, obsessive relationship, and psychological suspense. Because this is the kind of book that is best read when you know very little, I'm not going to summarize the plot, but I'll say that if you liked books like [b:You 20821614 You (You, #1) Caroline Kepnes https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1411958102s/20821614.jpg 39913517] by Caroline Kepness or [b:Best Day Ever 34007977 Best Day Ever Kaira Rouda https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1496783181s/34007977.jpg 55005136] by Kaira Rouda, this might a book for you.The thing that sets this book apart for me is how it touches on how the media often treats women unfairly in cases of relationships gone wrong. As the author notes in her acknowledgements, this book is “a mad spurt of anger at the continued injustices perpetrated against women in our so-called civilized society.” The trial scenes in the second part of the novel are when the book really picked up the pace for me and I found myself unable to put the book down. Also, Hall keeps you guessing through an incredibly manipulative writing style, so that you don't really know what the truth is until the end. Even in the final chapters I was only pretty sure I knew what was happening. This book won't be for everyone, but if you like being in the head of obsessive creepers, I highly recommend it!
