Bright Young Women was so incredible that it made me rethink giving some previous reads 5 stars. As a crime junkie and empath, I appreciated the insight given into the lives of the victims and the friends and family throughout the journey. While a somewhat fictional novel, it provided lessons and meaning that can be carried into how I (and society) approach crime within the media. If you enjoy this book read Know My Name by Chanel Miller (or vice versa).

I like the theme & motifs of this book, about sexism & glorification of murders against woman. Very powerful. But this is more of a law/court drama than the thriller I wanted or thought it was.
