This book grabbed me immediately and I was very excited to continue. The premise was cool (as was reading it at a hotel) and her misunderstanding things that we could see clearly gave Amelia Bedelia vibes of my childhood. Plus with a vigilante, found family type of vibe.
A little past the middle and on it was feeling more cheesy but still enjoyable. Love anepilogue twist but I don’t know if it totally made sense. Rodney framed her even though he didn’t do it? Just due to the drug crimes? And she was a better liar than I would have expected, especially to her friends in her time of need?
Idk why but I originally read Juan Manuel to be older so when it was clear what direction that was going it seemed odd but I guess that must have been my misunderstanding
I like the happy ending but the scene detailing Grans death was super sad
Also I thought her mom was young if they’re mistaken for sisters so the math wasn’t making sense hearing Gran had her at 16/17 and lived past 75
Also are defense attorneys also prosecutors in Canada? 🤔
