This book was heavy and hard to read in big doses because of that. I also had a hard time with the writing style. But I did love the twists throughout and was shocked by some of the things that came to light throughout! Overall a good read!

This was a can’t-put-down read, but I was fairly disappointed by it at the end. The writing was choppy throughout, and by the time the narrative reached its climax, the scenes went by quickly. I was interested in the Mickey and Truman’s  reflections on the role of police in handling addiction and interpersonal violence in poor communities, and her internal struggle with herself as a police officer. Ultimately, I wish Moore had gone further with these reflections instead of

having Mickey quit at the end, which felt like a cop-out.
