Took me a while to get into it and even then I feel like I wasn’t super satisfied with it. There was a lot of potential for the book but it seemed like it was trying to cover a lot of different issues but never fleshing out any of them (teacher/student relationships, #MeToo, discrimination against black people in the justice system, etc). And after all this

it’s not like it’s 100% confirmed Robbie did it. I would’ve been more fine with the ending had the rest of the book felt like it more heavily focus on the injustices of black people in court especially in the 1990s, for example.

I do like the narrator though, not as a person, but listening to her obsessions and delusions surrounding the whole case was great. Shoutout to Julia Whelan for providing the audio.🙏🏽
