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).

A haunting crime story, Nothing Can Hurt You examines the death of a girl named Sara and the ways in which her death reverberates throughout a small community. Told in several perspectives, from Sara's sister to the woman who finds her body to a junior reporter, this novel is a hard but necessary read. Examining timely issues such as misogyny and domestic violence against women, this book is a must read for fans of true crime novels.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

A college student was murdered by her boyfriend, a schizophrenic whose friend said that they had done acid together the day the girlfriend went missing.
The boys lawyer pushed for a not guilty by reason of a temporary insanity. The defense said he was having a psychotic episode and didn’t know what he was doing.

Sara Rose Morgan, was found dead after two days, in the woods. Her throat cut so deeply she was nearly decapitated.

Blake Campbell, came from a nice family. He had an expensive lawyer....( hard not to feel prejudice against him).
Sara was dead.
Blake killed her.

The court appointed psychiatrist said that Blake was ‘severely’ schizophrenic.... that he heard voices from gods and gurus. He had no prior history of violence.
Blake didn’t go to prison.

There’s something very ‘different’ about this book.( novel?, true crime?, with changed names?)....
Maybe it’s because I went in blind.... but every single sentence kept me curious.

I don’t mean to be crass... but people are murdered every day. But I don’t read about them every day.
I got the feeling that ‘everyone’ associated with Sara or Blake....
( one or the other or both), would always be unsettled.

We learn of others killed - others abused - and meet the community who were affected, traumatized, and even infatuated with Blake and Sara.

There is something about this book... so incredibly intoxicating and startling...I never wanted a break from
reading it.....,
and....
ITS CREEPY in parts.
The dialogue was so close to my face...
...if it was any closer it would’ve bit me in the ass.

It’s HAUNTING...
...sent me to google wanting to know more about the true story...
but...
funny how that won’t work when you type in fiction names.

Thank you Netgalley,
Bloomsbury, and Nicola Maye Goldberg

Based on the true story of a murder in the late 1990’s this book looks at how the murder affected members of the community. Sara Morgan was a college student murdered by her boyfriend, Blake. His acquittal after pleading temporary insanity had a polarizing effect on the entire community. From the local press, to the woman who found the body and a convicted local serial killer, this story captures all the ugliness, horror and anger that lingers after a violent crime
