Easy-reading court drama that seems very timely. Simultaneously realistic and very sensationalised.

2022 PopSugar Challenge - a book becoming a book or TV series in 2022

I'm going to say 3.5 rounded up to 4. I struggled with the multiple narrators AND multiple time lines. And the HUGE jumps in the time line. I had to flip back several times to figure out who was talking and WHEN.

That said, it was an intriguing story. The individual chapters were well written, I just had trouble linking them together sometimes.
