Sadly, I simply couldn’t finish this book.
This is a true story that needed to be told, but it needed to be told in a better way.
To be blunt, it was boring - and I’m still mystified as to why this lady was targeted.
This is not “a true crime story that reads like a thriller” at all. Neither was this lady “Sleeping with a Psychopath”. They had some sex, not a lot from the sound of it, but she was not living with him. I don’t think they spent a single night together.
It is perhaps this mis-selling of the book which has disarmed me. I went in expecting a thriller and got a rather dry and frustrating telling of events.
I skip read chapters 9 through 16. Am I awful because the book didn’t inspire me to care what happened to Carolyn in the end?
Of course I care, and I was pleased to see that final photograph.
Thank you to Readers First, Harper Element and Carolyn Woods for the ARC in return for my honest review.
