Hard book. Difficult subject. Handled okay, but found the subplots very meh, and dramatized.
irritated with how Jess's misdeeds were handled, and the graphic picture of his braces was disturbing. In addition, the sexual subplot with Campbell and Julia annoyed me, it became less about the case and more aggressive sexual tension. Lastly, how Campbell didn't seem to have any remorse for the accident, no apologies, just oh yeah she'd want to donate her kidney... didn't seem realistic.
Graphic: Cancer, Terminal illness, Medical content, Car accident, and Fire/Fire injury
