Furthermore, there are ethical problems with this story. The author clearly drew inspiration from the rape trial that made headlines when Chanel Miller made her victim impact statement as Emily Doe. Scott Blair, Gildon's antagonist, is a reproduction of Brock Turner, even in the final few pages. I was hoping to see an acknowledgement of Chanel Miller, or other survivors, but...nothing!
I am being generous in giving this book 2 stars, and that is because the true crime podcast was a cool idea and I haven't seen it done before.
Graphic: Physical abuse and Rape
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Suicidal thoughts
