There were a few moments in the beginning when it was clear that By Way of Sorrow could have used stronger editing. But around the 1/3 mark, the story picked up and Gigl's writing solidified. Overall, it is a strong legal drama with a cohesive mix of characters and a plot that balances thrill with emotion.
That said, if anyone I know reads this, I'd like to hear your thoughts on how Gigl wrote Sharise's character, particularly her use of AAVE. I admit that it made me uncomfortable at times.
