I can’t believe publishers didn’t wanna publish this when she first completed it. I loved the story. Especially written by someone in politics so it makes it even more fun to read. The book shows that there is no clear line in justice. It’s not black or white. It’s just a gray area and you have to decide for yourself which side of the box you stand on. At the end of the day, all everybody is doing is the job they’re being paid to do. You should always be mindful of the company you keep and the people you choose to support. And stand on your beliefs.

When I tell you I read this book in a day…it was captivating! It grabbed me by my shirt collar & didn’t put me down. It was heart breaking to read. Especially if you know how D.C.’s CFS operates. I love the P.o.V the story is told from. It was very thought-provoking. THIS STORY WILL BRING TEARS!!!

Where do I begin? It was a really heart-warming book to me. I loved the play on the title "people person" and what it means to different people and how we view others even our own siblings. loved how the siblings wanted to make connections with each other while figuring out who these people are and what they mean to them. I enjoyed reading this until the last second. I loved how everyone was discussed in their own manner. Even though the reason they were brought together in the first place was a bit crazy, I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
