well written.
would be interesting to talk to authors to see why they made kevin murphy’s character into a “good cop” and cameron into a bad cop, although they both shot.
obviously we don’t want to see things in just black and white, but it would be interesting to hear the authors’ intentions.
recommend!

Riley Wilson and Jen Murphy have been best friends since they were in grade school and while their friendship has raised a few eyebrows over the years, they’re in the same city again and each within grasp of what they’ve always wanted. For Riley, it’s a promotion to replace her retiring idol as the only Black woman anchor for their major local news station. For Jen, it’s to finally become a mother after years of trying and several devastating miscarriages. But in one night both their lives change forever – an unarmed Black teenager is gunned down by police. Riley’s assigned to cover the story and Jen’s husband is one of the police officers involved in the shooting. The assignment will almost certainly make Riley’s career and the tragedy strikes particularly close to home as she learns more of her own family’s history from her terminally ill grandmother. But Jen feels like Riley is turning on her in her hour of need, her loyalty torn between her husband and her best friend. As the world around them erupts, could their friendship become another casualty or will they find a way to finally open up to each other and address the issues they’ve carefully avoided all their lives?
