This was very similar to other courtroom dramas centered around an alleged rape in terms of the circumstances around the rape and the characters. I thought the dual POV with Hannah/Jenny's stories were really well incorporated and how they ended up being connected was realistic. I was very engaged in the story and had a hard time putting it down once I got started. Definitely not an easy read, but well-done and highly recommend.
