amcheri's review against another edition
2.0
I really, really wanted to like this book. I've read two others by the author and enjoyed them - particularly [b:Veritas|7571845|Veritas|Anne Laughlin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1263930540s/7571845.jpg|9919895] - but I just couldn't get into The Acquittal.
I couldn't buy into the kidnapping plot at all and the characters just didn't make me want to care much about them. The entire romantic/sexual plot aspects between Josie and Lauren felt wrong to me and really took away from my enjoyment of the book. There were also a few typos...
I will say that I thought the author did a really good job of making me feel it when Josie was experiencing her manic episodes.
I'd probably go 2.5 but I can't do that. I'll rate it a solid three over at Amazon since 2 here and 3 there both mean "It was OK" and that's how I felt about it.
