Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.
I was really intrigued by the blurb of this book and there were so many rave reviews. I was thrilled to be approved for this one.
I will be honest in saying that I did not love this book. It was a good book. It kept me entertained and I learnt a great deal about Autism and the struggles that parents with Autistic children face.
It is definitely a book worth reading.

MIRACLE CREEK. This book instantly shot up to my all-time favorite shelf. I loved it. It’s part mystery, part courtroom drama, part story of a family of immigrants, AND there’s a plot twist (especially for you non-"mystery aficionados..." you’ll be surprised by this). I absolutely LOVED it. It’s written with short chapters from the perspective of a whole cast of characters over the course of a trial for an incident (which is described very first thing in the book). I HIGHLY recommend this story. Angie Kim, the author, attended Stanford and Harvard Law, where she was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review. I include her credentials to show you how witty, beautiful, smart, and accurate this story is! Kim NAILS it and I certainly hope she writes more. I love the way she told this story.
