This book has MAJOR triggers. Big time. This book broke my soul apart in a few different places. While it was my first by this author, I would certainly read her again. I enjoyed the style of the writing. 

Obviously there were a good few things that were unrealistic in terms of the legal side of things (I will avoid spoilers here) but there were just enough hints at accurate things that it didn't bother me that much. 

The reality of the characters brought a tear to my eye at times. 

Overall I really enjoyed it!
