Such a good quick read!!

This was just a good book, it’s not super long or drawn out. By the halfway point I couldn’t put it down, I had to find out what happens next. Highly recommend!!

Now i can watch the show on netflix. Not really sure if they are directly related? But now i can find out without any spoilers!!

Have you read it or have any recommendations with similar genres?

This book WAS SO GOOD! It is a quick read with only 245 pages. Hearing how hard Jason tried to have a decent life but how he lives at home is a struggle and it’s just sad. This is a book I would reread just because it’s a good book. 9/10 🌟 #suchgoodboys #tinadirmann #truecrime
