As other reviewers have previously stated this book was almost impossible to follow and extremely confusing. I had a hard time finishing it but I did because I don't like to leave books unfinished. I would recommend giving this book a try.

The idea to explore people related to the case is interesting, but ultimately the story doesn’t go anywhere and several pieces are left completely unresolved.

This book was disorganized and hard to follow the characters were not well executed and the plot was hard to follow. It seemed like a rough draft. It needed some more development.

This is a hard book to review. I was confused in the beginning, kept trying to keep track of who was who and kept waiting for them to be connected, ie come together with each other at some point. it never happened and eventually gave up trying to keep track of them and just read about all the ways these different people were impacted by the murder. so i ended up enjoying it but felt like it needed a stronger ending, a much stronger ending or maybe that was the point. so it gave me something to think about

Sorry to say this book is a DNF for me. I am halfway through and I am very confused and have no idea what the hell I am reading! Very jumbled writing and way too many characters.

There were both "glows" and "grows" in this novel, in my opinion. Some of the glows would be that the writing and descriptions were detailed and well written. The characters were also well rounded and easy to follow, but the problem also resided in the fact that there were SO MANY characters and they were all telling the same story. Now, I do think that was a cool original idea and it did make the story flow, but man it was exhausting at times. The story of a murder is told by many characters that have come into contact with the victim or the killer.
There is the person who discovers the body, the stepsister, the roommate of the killer, the roommate of the victim, etc. The list is looooooong. I also liked how the author showed the ripple effect of the violent murder of a young woman on everyone who was some way involved. Each character, through whom the story unfolds, has a distinctive voice. While I did not love this style of storytelling, I did appreciate the originality and also the eloquence and lyricism of her writing. I would read her again, I just hope maybe next time there are less characters.

3 for neutral, as I just did not enjoy this book. I did in the beginning, but as it progressed I just kept sitting it down, until finally I decided I would neutrally review and update if able to finish at a later time.

First thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a free e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.

What a roller coaster of a ride. I never read anything quite like this - I know the premise of the story (and I am not going to repeat in my review) but I kept saying to myself - "Is there a point to this story" and then I found myself saying "I really don't care if there is a point to this story" because I was so engaged in this author's storytelling. It's very hard to explain unless you read it.

There are alot of characters and they all have some connection to the "main" character but its bizarre, haunting, curious, sad and sometimes a bit humorous - truly worth a read.

First of all, I'm a big fan of a book or movie that is based on true events. For some reason, I just like a story that is inspired by real events. I think it makes it all the more interesting and realistic.

This book is about a college student who has died and the events that precipitated the death. The reader is given different perspectives and is offered various voices in the tragic aftermath that ensues. The student who died was a girl, named Sara Morgan and her killer was her boyfriend. All of the reasons and motives are explored within the pages of this novel.

This is a must read for true crime fans and fiction fans who like an occasional deviation from the norm.

This started out sounding like it was going to be a good story. Maybe I should stick to strictly non-fiction, because I got lost in all of the characters and never quite got back to knowing what was what from that point on. I understood the basic story about the college student who was killed by her boyfriend. Then there’s the newspaper reporter who felt it might have something to do with the serial killer of several women. But the melange of characters rotate so much that I couldn’t keep up, until I'd wasted a lot of time, and then it was time to switch to another character again. I read this mostly in one day, so it's not like I dragged it out over weeks and lost the thread of the story or the characters. It just felt like too many balls juggling in the air at one time to me. I’m staying away from fiction with my crime. Just the facts, Ma’am, from now on. Advanced electronic review copy was provided by NetGalley, author Nicola Maye Goldberg, and Bloomsbury Publishing.

I am not really sure how to review this book. I really wanted to like it but found it increasingly hard to follow the farther I got into it. I don't think that the writing was bad but the plot was just jumbled, at least for me.

This is a rather unique way to tell a true story. It works overall, but may not be everyone's cup of tea. It's complex at times and nuanced at times. Recommended for mystery fans. 3.5 stars.

Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Nothing Can Hurt You by Maye Goldberg that I read and reviewed.
What can I say about this book except I was confused as hell reading it. I had no idea what I was reading about and what the point the book was besides some girl named Sarah was murdered by her boyfriend named Blake and he got off easy because they decided he was insane and this was how the case came across for a number of people whose lives it touched or some such thing. However, the way the book was written was not done very well and it was a nightmare to figure out. I was ready to trash it from the start but I really did not believe anyone could ramble on like that for an entire book with really no purpose then I could not believe I read the entire thing.
I am sorry but but this book because I still can’t figure out the point only gets one out of five stars.

Completely and totally excellent! I am a new loyal fan of Ms. Goldberg’s. Concise, moving and thought-provoking. I adored it.

This is a hard book to review.
I supposed the book is about a murder of a young lady by a young man on LSD and who had a mental illness.
The story is told by NUMEROUS characters that have come into contact with the victim or the killer.
There is the person who discovers the body, the step sister, the roommate of the killer, roommate of the victim, etc. The list is long and exhausting.

The good: the writing was easy to follow, the characters understandable, and there was a story.
The bad....WAY TOO MANY CHARACTERS! I had to constantly wonder what and who I was reading about.
You did not get a feel for the murdered young lady nor the murderer.

I give the book 3 stars because of the chaos of the story telling, the lack of clear focus of WHO was talking, and the story itself.

Interesting format for telling the story. The writing of the separate chapters from each character's perspective was fun. Ultimately the ending was abrupt and left me wanting a resolution as to how the individual characters may have interacted.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book to read and review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

A young girls body is discovered her boyfriend is tried for the murder and not found guilty.We are brought into the aftermath of the trial,.We’re introduced to the town people their point of view from the victims sister to Blake the victims boyfriend her murderer Based on a true crime this is a tense page turner,#netgalley#bloomsbury

This book was very choppy and I couldn’t seem to get into it even though the plot had a lot of potential. I just often felt confused by the abrupt ending of chapters and then the beginnings with a completely different story to tell.

A young girl is found murdered, partially covered by snow. She is found by a housewife taking a walk.
The girl was murdered by her boyfriend. He was not convicted.
This book is based on a true story. It relates how the murder affected the people that the girl had come in contact with. Like throwing a pebble in the water and seeing the concentric circles, so does this story meld together the characters involved in the girls circle.
Very well written. Take a you into the realm of obsession.
Excellent read!

Thank you so much for the ARC copy of this book, I was a little confused after finishing it though. It seemed to me like there was more that needed to be said and I had wondered if it wasn't a completed copy. I understand that the book is showing all different points of views about what happened to Sara and the other victims of the serial killer Logan, but I found there to be too many different view points and it was confusing to keep track of all of them. The timeline was also a bit all over the place. I would love if the book went more in depth with just a few view points (ie Luna and Katherine).
