    Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll Book Review

    We’re diving into Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, a powerful and unsettling novel that completely reframes the true crime genre.Instead of centering violence or the man behind it, this story focuses on the women, the aftermath, and the long shadow trauma leaves behind. We talk about grief, fear, age, and why telling stories this way matters. This book pissed us off and we absolutely loved it. If this book shook you or made you rethink crime, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.📲 Follow us on Instagram → @always.bookd🌐 Visit our website → https://www.alwaysbooked.net
