This was an unexpected & heartbreaking rollercoaster of a story!
I saw so much positive reviews on this & with it being a legal-esque thriller I had to give it a shot.
Unlike the usual legal thrillers I read, this had more happening pre & post courtroom than in the courtroom itself. Whilst you are hanging on waiting for the final verdict, the heartbreak happens pre-trial, and the secrets and twists explode post-trial.
It was super gripping, easy to speed through & kept my attention strong.
My only downfall was perhaps the very ending, which I felt was slightly too open and fill-in-the-blanks yourself kind of style. Regardless, I had such a great time with this story!
