I read this book in one sitting, under 3 hours. I could not put it down! So many twists and turns, such heartbreak and detestation, so much secrecy and lies. This was a fantastic thriller with all sorts of emotional ties. I didn’t know who I was rooting for, who I liked, what was going on with certain characters, and then the ending…. Wow. Just wow.

This is a layered family drama that weaves courtroom suspense with deep questions about social and cultural norms. Kia Abdullah delivers a thought-provoking story that explores family loyalty, personal responsibility, and the weight of societal expectations. This is a thought provoking  and engaging read.

I hated Yasmin so much!!!! She’s absolutely terrible. The book was okay, definitely had me wanting to keep reading but I wasn’t shook. The twists were definitely needed to get me more into it at the end
