I always feel weird about leaving a starred review to true crime. Lauren Spierer deserves her story to be told and the first half of the book really does. The book at the beginning talks a lot about who Lauren was and portrayed her as she was: a human.

However, the second half of this book turned into how amazing the author was and went into tangents about how *he* knew things and could get interviews no one else can.

It was hard to read because it took so much away from Lauren’s story and it was unfair to her and finding out what happened to her.
