"A bit different but this memoir completely changed how I think about true crime literature. It reads like a family epic as well as true crime - following a family for two decades after their daughter/sister’s sensationalized disappearance and murder. Harrowing and gut-wrenching in equal parts. "

"Obviously, what happened to Milly was horrific, and the family’s ordeal that followed was heartbreaking. That said, this book was a struggle. I never want to see the word “sashay” again."
