A four only because I love Jay’s character development. Was way longer than it needed to be then did a rush wrap up

I love Attica Locke’s writing, and am willing to overlook the liberties she takes when detailing a legal process just because I am so engrossed in the story. She does a great job of leaving no loose ends with a myriad of storylines and they all come together in a delightful web at the end that just had me brimming with joy at the art of her storytelling. Some of her characters and scenarios are too contrived to just ignore, which is why the 3 stars, but I’m going to read everything she’s written because I am hooked on her style all together.

I skipped several chapters towards the end just to be done with this book! It takes a long time to go nowhere!! The tense is not my favorite and it was just slow and so difficult to get through.
