While this book didn't work for me, it won't stop me from recommending it.

I couldn't get through this book. If you're going to touch something as iconic as In Cold Blood, it needs to at least be readable. The pacing was strange, the characters were flat, the writing was just bad.

I had a hard time getting into this book. The writing came across as very childish. Since I did not finish the book, I do not intend to publish a review.

I grew up 15 miles from the Clutter house and was excited for this YA reimagining. I enjoyed how the vernacular was clearly from SW Kansas, but the underdeveloped characters stopped me from loving the story itself. Also, the MC is constantly making very childish choices and is treated like a much younger child than she is. Even though she is meant to be in high school, I couldn't help but picture her as an elementary student rather than a teenager.
