This was a good mystery read that had interesting, well-fleshed-out characters, and that shed light on a premise that is often ignored or not explored with the nuance it deserves: child incarceration. The story is told from the perspective of Mary, a teenage girl who has been incarcerated since she was 9 years old. In so many ways, she's experienced more than most adults will ever have to, but the way she perceives relationships and love really reminds you that she's still just a child. I didn't love the final chapter, but some readers might. This book is great for anyone who's getting into thrillers/mystery novels (I'd say the characters feel realer than they do in most novels of the same genre) and it's appropriate for teenage readers.

This was a great read. I didn’t know it was a story written from the point of view of an unreliable narrator until later in the book. When I finally realized, the entire book seemed to shift into something else entirely. It also made me realize how easy it is for manipulation to occur without even realizing it. This story uncovers horrors of the justice system and uncomfortable truths as well. I encourage everyone to read but caution because there is mention of child death.
