Book Review: "Nothing Can Hurt You" By Nicola Maye Goldberg

Unique Perspective! Inspired by a True Story that goes off the deep end..

This book had me loving and hating in both realms because it begins with the 1997 death of a college student but breaks off into those who found her, the journalists, the families involved, and the ultimate circle of violence.

It's confusing with multiple character perspectives that results in a mixed bag of character jumping scenes.

Obviously murders have a trickle down effect when it comes to who is unfortunately affected by such sad outcomes.

The author's categorization and genre also had me perplexed because it's based on a true story but operates based on an inspired story yet doesn't incorporate the story it's inspired by at all.

So, the ending was even more bizarre with the person who was murdered Sara Morgan in a pool....

I suppose voyeurism, obsession, and the like isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea so be careful with this one if you're squeamish.

The confession of Blake -her boyfriend- also is a mixed bag for me.

All in all it was simply a good read that held my attention but didn't really give me much beyond what we already new.

Thank you to Nicola, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
