One of the few occasions when I think consuming on audiobook enhanced my experience of the story and I ended up binging this across a couple of days. Shouldn't have been surprised - Jodie Comer is excellent and her narration really added to my sense of connection with the character, who sees her faith in the legal process really shaken and you share in that as the reader.
I liked how the book was structured with a 'then' and 'now' alternating chapters, especially for the second part of the story which added to the tension of the court case.
I was aware of the depressingly low conviction rates for rape and this really underlined the limitations in the UK legal system as it stands currently. It challenged me to reflect on what I would do in her situation, what I would want a friend to do. Certainly not easy material but really important to understand more about.
