i will say that i got a bit bored around the middle of the book, and this book didn't make me want to keep reading all the way through. it took me quite a bit to finish reading because of this. i felt like i was looking for more during the action packed parts of the book, but it never quite got there. things seemed to move slowly, calmly almost, which interesting considering the topic and plot of this book. at times, i thought this haziness was done very well (ex. in hazel and blue's perspectives), but other times, it made the book drag on for too long.
anyway, this was a good read overall, and i recommend it if you're interested in criminal law or the systems in general. or if you like reading unique perspectives like i do.
