I had mix feelings regarding this one…
At first I enjoyed it and I find it interesting to follow, the mystery kept me interested until the end but there’s a few things that didn’t let me fully enjoy this one.

This story is told in multiple POVs including the real culprit which I think is a great touch to the story.
However, the changes between one POV to another POV in a chapter and sometimes happens in the same paragraph confused me. This might happen because mine is not the final format of the book….

Zach and Addie's characters are well developed and I really like watching their relationship grow during the time of Sam's trials. Not just Sam, they also went thorugh a lot of stuff and I keep rooting for them the whole time and the epilogue at the end really warms my heart.

One thing I missed was not seeing more of Sam’s trials in court, instead the focus was slightly shifted to Addie’s investigation to a cold case that was never solved for three decades.

Overall, for a debut novel it was pretty good and I feel satisfied with the ending.
It covers a lot of interesting topics that’s still related in our reality right now and I think it was quite well written.
I would keep an eye out for more books by this author in the future!

I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
