In this book we follow a young convict, Mary, who was sentenced for the murder of a baby named Alyssa. We get flashbacks of her time in baby jail while we follow her current timeline in a group home for girls like her. At the moment the story is happening, she is digging back up Alyssa's case so as to prove that she was convicted wrongly.
I must say I liked the book enough but the plot twist annoyed me so such. I get that it needed a little BANG! But my gosh do I hate the twist.
Ok other than that, I liked the characters. My favorite being her lawyer, Mrs Cora and her exam teacher person, Mrs Claire. I just love seeing women being given big roles and that is exactly what the author gave these 2.
The story flows at a pretty ok pace but the switching of timelines might get a little confusing. 1 sec she's in her room, something big happens, and we've moved ahead in the plot and Mary is now walking the group home or something. It might be a little frustrating at 1st but it's easy to ignore once you get used to it as you don't stay in one scene for too long.
