4.0

I didn't know much of what to expect from this book going in but it ended up being enjoyable (and making me was to Google ALL the things about Anna afterwards). I truly feel for Rachel and the situation that she was put into by Anna, but am also still so perplexed how it even happened! I cannot imagine being in her shoes, and hopefully I never will have to be... I listened to this one on audio, and it was enjoyable hearing the author reading it in her own voice. You could really hear and understand her frustration and anxiety. The story felt like a combination of a reality tv show and a true crime documentary, in the best way possible.

My own complaint with the book was how repetitive it felt. It seemed like we heard the same things over and over again, sometimes without it being clear why it was being repeated. This was especially true with some of the facts about the case as well as Williams' own feelings throughout the process. However, it was still an enjoyable listen and I'd recommend the audiobook.

3.5 stars
