Andrea was lacking in character. When the book started, I had high hopes for her because she is actively doing better than her best to be the top of her male dominated class. She was confident and came across as a badass. Then she got her first case and all that confidence was left in the first few pages. She fumbled, mumbled, and was tongue-tied so often that it took all my patience to get through those passages. I really do wish she were a badass throughout the book. She did have some daring parts in the book
The subject matter at the centre of the book was also a huge trigger for me constantly, especially the treatment of the victim, because that is what she was, by everyone around her was absolutely appalling.
I was going to put 3 stars, but then I got to the millennials drinking latte line and I just absolutely had it. That one line showed me that I am the wrong demographic for the author's novels.
