This book did a great job at highlighting character flaws and yet never alienating the reader. Overall a great read.

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!

I felt like they weren't really best friends anymore, they were childhood friends who had grown apart. The book has two authors and does portray both perspectives, but I found Jen significantly less likeable. She almost recognizes the pain her husband caused, but ultimately she doesn't quite get there.
