🔪 What will you do if your 14 years old is accused of a murder and all the evidences go against him?
⚖️ This book made my belief even stronger on how no parents can completely know their child regardless of the good relationship & closeness to them.
The book is written in dual timeline where it starts in the present as Andrew Barber is being questioned in a court room in front of the jury about his son Jacob and his family life. We are then taken to the past where it all started with the murder of Ben Rifkins.
🔪 The book is a legal story where you will get to read about a crime investigation from a District Attorney's POV. There are lots of court scenes and case proceeding which definitely was the most interesting part to read about.
⚖️ This book is about a happy family that turned miserable, it's about parents doing everything to save their teenager from prison sentence, it's about holding on to hope when everything is falling apart, it's about living in denial even when everything is crystal clear and lastly it's about the secret life kids live online in the darkness of web without their parents' knowledge. You'll think that you know where the story will lead, but trust me you'll be shocked as the end gets nearer.
🔪 I loved how this book has so much information about the legal stuff, child behaviour & psychology and also many important lessons on parenting.
⚖️ It was definitely a great read for me but I feel it could've been much shorter and a little fast paced. Recommended to everyone who loves a good crime mystery & legal stories.
