Sleeping with a Psychopath is a true crime story, where the author finds the courage to tell her story: Carolyn Woods meets and fell in love with a man called Mark Conway, but soon her whole world is turned upside down by his constant lies and betrayals.

I’ve always been drawn to true crime stories and curious about the dynamics behind it, and definitely this read has given lots of insights on how easy it can be to be “fooled” by someone we think we can trust.
Praise to Carolyn to be able to put into words her story, I think she has shown great courage and I’m sure it wasn’t an easy task especially after being left so shuttered by what happened.

The story was pretty fast paced, maybe just a bit repetitive sometimes, but still gripping and shocking. I was particularly frustrated when I read about the length Carolyn had to go to find closure and have justice. It’s quite shocking that she had to push the police to actually chase Mark, while her whole life was on hold, but I’m happy that eventually she could move forward.
