Nyla’s mother’s (Beth) best friend, Frankie, is in prison for murdering Beth’s sister, Cora. But Beth doesn’t think Frankie did it and a new law makes it so Frankie is to be executed in 30 days. Nyla (accidentally) makes a YouTube channel in order to help prove Frankie’s innocence.
Nyla is a tenacious character, really determined to prove Frankie’s innocence and growing more determined which each piece of evidence she finds. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
