Toni Murphy was only eighteen years old when she and her boyfriend, Ryan were taken into custody for the brutal murder of Toni's sister, Nicole. They both claimed they were innocent, but trying to prove it would be difficult. Spending the next sixteen locked away years would be the hardest time of Toni's life. She would come across some of the meanest and hardest of women whom she knew to keep clear of, but that wasn't always easy.
Now aged thirty four, Toni is finally being released, but now she must try and cope with living outside of the prison. Returning to Campbell River will not be easy as this is not a place that holds happy memories for her. Although this is where she met and fell in love with, Ryan it was also where she was bullied by quite a few of the local girls. Toni hasn't had a lot of contact with her parents since her sister was killed. Toni’s father tries to see, Toni when he can, but it's not easy if he wants to keep the peace with his wife. Toni knows she and Ryan didn't kill her sister and now she will do all she can to find the person who did. Will she find out who killed her sister and will she and Ryan be together again?
This was an enjoyable and entertaining read, but it really was missing something for me. In saying that I still look forward to reading more from this author and I know many will enjoy this book.

The first few chapters intrigued me, I could already envision the high school and prison setting in my head. The more I read the more I needed to know what exactly happened That Night.
I was furious about the way Toni had been treated and wronged over and over again. Especially by Shauna and her little gang. Plus her mom and Nicole..

This started out well and I *really* wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen, but I lost interest somewhere along the way. I finished it and it was good - but not great in the way her book Still Missing was.

Closer to 3.5⭐️. After a super slow start and almost DNFing, I feel like the story got better. It wasn’t my favorite Chevy Stevens book I’ve read though.
