I've had this book on my to-read list forever, and I finally did it. After reading Sadie by Courtney Summers (5 stars), I went on a true-crime-ish binge, and this book fits that category to a T. Spoiler alert:There is no HEA here. Duh. I found myself disappointed with the story at times-not because it wasn't good or thoughtful-I just wanted something different, something better to happen for Susie. Maybe that's unfair, but I can't seem to help it. A must read for true-crime aficionados. I'm glad I read it when I was in the right mindset–definitely NOT a picker-upper.
