I read 130 pages and it had nothing to do with the blurb at the back of the book.

Revelle Lee works as a court interpreter. However, once she made a mistake that led to dire consequences. She feels the stress of this mistake each day.
Now that she is close to adopting 6 year-old Elliot, someone is determined to haunt her. But, Revelle wants to be the mother she never had, as her mother was distant to her. When she starts receiving strange messages, Revelle is sure the birth family is behind them.
She makes another mistake mistranslating a Polish man's alibi. Since the messages allude to knowing what she did, Revelle feels the need to right the wrong.
It all comes to a dramatic head.
Good story, but took too long to get to the point.

Thanks to Goodreads for my proof book. You can read in other reviews what it is about. It had a big potential but failed to deliver. In places, it dragged on and probably could have been 50 pages shorter. If most of the book was like the last couple of chapters, it would have been a much better read. The main character thought process was hard to follow, and the main "twist" of her past mistake was very underwhelming.

So this just wants not my cup of tea.

The main character was not relatable , and just really made confusing choices.
