My favorite part of this book was the nostalgic bits - the 90s and 2000s pop culture references and the FMC's relationship with her younger brother. I'm not a true crime fan which is a central piece of this FMC, but I have enough general knowledge and the author gave enough context clues that those references were easy to follow. What was tough to figure out was where the spark and romance between our grumpy/angsty FMC and her sunshiny sweet neighbor came into play. I just never saw it or felt it, right up through the very end. I finished the book with a very "meh" feeling.
