Similarities between Adnan Syed case and the Good girl's guide to murder book by Holly Jackson
I just finished watching the HBO documentary on Adnan Syed and I couldn't help but draw parallels with the book AGGGTM. The case happened in 1999 and the book obviously came later so, is there any chance of any inspiration being taken? Like the whole "smart and friendly South Asian kid suspected to have murdered his popular girl after school" angle plus the podcast idea. Of course Sal was murdered too in the book but that's in the case irl. Lastly, I don't know any details that were left out in the documentary so I could be wrong, but I am kinda on Adnan's side from all that I heard. Any alternate opinions are fully welcomed.
