Somehow, Sam had sanded down my cynical edges. I'd built up this armor for so long, and I'd always worried I wouldn't recognize myself without it. But it turned out that I liked who I was with Sam.” That said, as the book progressed, it became funnier. Sure, Phoebe is definitely NOT fun at parties, but her paranoia and extensive knowledge of serial killers made her into an interesting protagonist. As the book progressed, it became clearer that she uses her obsession with true crime as a defense mechanism–guarding herself from being hurt–emotionally. The handsome man next door can’t break her heart if she protects herself from his inevitable serial killer tendencies.

Do you know when you disappear into a book? You, your surroundings, everything, ceases to exist? This book was that for me' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ My bra was half-askew by now, one strap falling down my arm. "If my boobs are out, you're contractually obligated to say that.” Like Beach Read, Phoebe moved into her father’s house after he died and battles those demons and what it means to have a father who just wasn’t a great man. She’s also writing her dissertation on the true crime genre and it was super interesting to read some of the connections she was drawing. The writing style was compelling and clever, and was definitely a nice charcuterie board of sarcasm, wit, and emotion.She isn’t your typical leading lady, as she has what she views as body flaws and some insecurities. PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analysing the genre in her dissertation - if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.

I can see why you'd doubt relationships, and family, and love," Sam said. "It sounds like a tense way to grow up, and I'm really sorry you had to go through it. But, Phoebe, your parents were just two people. Ted Bundy and whatever his girlfriend's name was were two people. Hell, Bonnie and Clyde stayed together until the bitter end, and even they were only two people. You can't extrapolate your worldview from such a small data set.” The “is he a serial killer” bit didn’t stay a mystery for long but was fun while it lasted and does make for a good hook. I greatly enjoyed watching Phoebe grow as a character and to stop self-sabotaging (even subliminally). By the end, her personal relationships were very wholesome and cute; her and her brother especially! I slid up against his body, until I felt the hard length of him on my thigh. "We can start with the space thing in, like, twenty minutes," I said.

This was such an enjoyable read. I really loved the depths given to Phoebe, the way she created walls around herself, the themes were developed organically and believably' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime.
