The book did really well at letting the reader dive into the world of Kiara. Spoilers: 

It was heartbreaking to read and her not receiving justice - while not what I would have wanted - was what made sense for the book. The police force being prosecuted would have made it feel like a fairytale ending to the story.

Så grym bok! Fick den rekommenderad på internet och lånade den direkt på biblioteket! 

Tunga ämnen och händelser, men skriven i ett så fint och poetiskt språk! Fastnade helt klart för boken även om jag i perioder fick ont i magen av att läsa om det liv Kiara vänder sig till och tvingas fast i.

4.5

Dark, gritty and real, Mottley captures the reality of the 2015 Oakland police department sex explotation scandal from the viewpoint of a girl in the middle trying her best to survive. A truly horrific reality but Mottley gives a voice to the survivors through her fictional character of Kiara.
