Adnan's Story is written by Rabia Chaudry, a close friend of Adnan Syed who is imprisoned for the murder of Hae-Min Lee in 1999. Hae-Min Lee is Adnan's ex-girlfriend and Chaudry writes to make a case that Adnan is innocent by reviewing the two's relationship, the investigation and trial, and the multiple attempts that followed to overturn his conviction.
Adnan's Story exploded in popularity back in 2016 through the podcast Serial and since then Adnan's conviction has been vacated. Regardless of the changes in circumstance since the book was published, it was a dark, convoluted, and interesting read.
What I gathered is that Adnan had an unjust trial with an investigation that missed a lot of avenues looking into other potential suspects and his legal representation sucked.
It's difficult to conclude as a reader what exactly happened as the details are murky and the legal procedures went over my head, but either Adnan Syed is guilty or he is the most unlucky man ever.
