An interesting exploration into how society views women, rape, the difference in social classes, and how small towns can be so insular and well small. I felt the ending was a little anticlimactic because it came together a little too well but overall I was hooked from page one and loved the mixed media use.

Listening to the audiobook was interesting because it included "produced" episodes of the Guilty or Not Guilty podcast produced throughout the story. Not sure that was a good addition to the book, though...I didn't like the podcast and it soured my view of Rachel. The dual crimes years apart trope was executed well enough, with a suitable twist to be enjoyable, but it wasn't the most elegant.
