MixedI did enjoy it, but I think I'm going to go with a 3.25 for a rating that just a lot annoyed me about it. First of all, just like the lack of trust between a lot of relationships in this I didn't like. I didn't like the lack of communication.

Lovedit's one of my favorite ever literary fictions because it explored mental illness and it explored addiction and it had like this huge cast of characters that you kind of follow through these very difficult periods of their lives while they're living in New York and overall fantastic

Alicia ThompsonTurns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating—and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.
PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation—if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.
It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier—a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.
