Wow. It was almost hard to remember this was a real life event. Slater did a phenomenal job in her writing to really make you feel empathy for both people. This is real. You don’t get clean cut right and wrong. The laws aren’t the answer.
My only wish is that this had been written by or with someone who could have an own voices perspective. Regardless, this was well done. I’m still torn. I care for both people.
