I'm so glad that this was in same type of format at THE APPEAL. I really enjoyed the storytelling style being in the form of emails, texts, transcripts and clippings. I honestly didn't see where the story was going to go though it did start off sounding quite absurd. The way that it ended up going was really interesting, especially the way that it ended as I did not see that coming! Highly recommend this if you enjoyed THE APPEAL.
