Overall I liked it. It was witty and though I'm not a true crime fan myself (much too anxious) I enjoyed the references sprinkled throughout. I do wish it leaned a little heavier into Phoebe believing Sam could be a serial killer in the beginning, I think I expected this to be horror/thriller-turned-rom/com but it was really just rom/com. A quick listen, didn't love the narrator but they did a good job. Not one I would recommend, but also not one I WOULDN'T recommend. You know?
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Cursing, Death, Death of parent, and Murder
Minor: Suicidal thoughts and Medical content
Lots of references to serial killers, but very few (if any) mentions of how they killed.
