Just to be clear, I’m only giving this book two stars since I was able to read it in its entirety. However, I had more fun reading the reviews of this book than I did reading the actual book itself.
Have you ever read a book that you know is going to be bonkers, and not in a good way, after reading about twenty pages? That is exactly how I felt about this piece of work.
After about fifteen pages, I had a whole sheet of notes, and that should tell you something. For a while, I thought I was reading satire. Sadly, I wasn’t.
Oh, lovelies, I have thoughts and a list!
1) Was any research done for this book about legal practices and the way things work? I know it isn’t illegal for a wife to represent her husband in a murder trial as his defense attorney, but certainly there has to be some code of ethics around it. There is no way one spouse could defend the other one while they’re on trial for the murder of their lover without personal issues getting in the way. There is no way the attorney in this case could be 100% unbiased. I’m thinking Sarah would have been a suspect at one point, or at least a witness. In what world would people think she could represent Adam better than an impartial attorney would? There was absolutely no other defense attorney in the DMV area that was better than Sarah? There was no other defense attorney in the area that could have taken on his case and possibly gotten him acquitted of all charges?
The attorney and police work in this book was TRASH. It was so sloppy, and I’m sure so many things that were done weren’t even allowed during investigations. I could have done a better job, and all I have to go by are true crime documentaries on the Investigation Discovery channel. Literal police brutality occurred multiple times (once in the interrogation room), and nobody did a damn thing to stop it! WHAT IN THE WORLD!?
Why was Sheriff Stevens still working on the case once it was out of the Prince Williams County Sheriff’s Office's hands?
Sarah interviewed people about the case under the guise of being a reporter. She gives the interviewee a fake name, a fake newspaper, and everything. That is highly unprofessional and probably illegal in some way. Why would such a badass criminal defense attorney even need to do something like that?
The number of times that evidence would have been deemed inadmissible in a court of law due to negligent practices was INSANE! At the end of the day, the police really didn’t have a solid case against Adam. So many things were screwed up. The evidence was chaos.
Google is a great resource, Jeneva!
The legal pacing of the story was bananas. There is no way a trial date would be set for two weeks after a suspect's arraignment. Both the prosecution and the defense need enough time to build their cases before going on trial. Fourteen days is not nearly long enough for each side to do that. Once autopsies are performed and samples are taken from the victim(s), it can take MONTHS for toxicology and other DNA results to come back. There is no way test results would come back within 24–48 hours. This is also why trial dates are set so far after arraignment. There needs to be ample time for all the necessary testing to be completed and for the results to come back. We find out Kelly was roughly four weeks pregnant at the time of her death. A DNA test is done on the fetus to find out who the father is. That’s all well and good, but I’m pretty sure doctors can’t even collect samples from an unborn baby until a woman is approximately seven weeks pregnant. None of these things are feasible. It’s ridiculous.
The fact that they would even bring Adam in, put him on trial for homicide, was insane. It was just... WOW. Where are the professionals? Because they sure as hell weren’t working on Adam Morgan’s case. By the way, we don’t even get to know the details of the trial. Just the opening statements and the verdict. What was that all about?
2) Sarah Morgan was thefucking worst. She was insufferable. I enjoyed nothing about her character. She was so snotty and full of herself that it was ridiculous. I HATED her. Are we really supposed to believe that she was one of the best criminal defense attorneys walking the earth? Because she wasn’t. She was horrible at her job. You could not convince me that this woman was the cream of the crop in her profession. If I had to read about how amazing and awesome she was one more time, I was going to gouge my eyes out with a dull butter knife. The fact that she swore everyone around her looked at her “with respect” was just vomit-inducing. Not to mention that Sarah had to remind us that she was a criminal defense attorney every chance she got. If she is the best of the best when it comes to defense attorneys, I’m scared when it comes to the rest of them.
She goes into the cafe where Kelly worked to interview one of her co-workers and orders a coffee. After she places her order, she tells the barrista that she was actually there for more than just that. When the barrista asks if it’s about Kelly, Sarah seems shocked that she knew. This is a literal quote from her inner monologue about that situation.
“I say—a bit taken aback that she’d know. It must be the matching blazer and skirt that gave away that I’m here for more than just a casual drink.”
Yeah, because nobody else goes into a coffee shop dressed like that for work or other reasons just to relax and grab a drink, right?
Good googly moogly Sarah Morgan and her whole situation gave me a migraine. Calm down, Ricky Bobby.
3) None of the characters were particularly likeable:
Matthew: The only character I liked.
Adam: Meh
Bob: Ew
Eleanor: If she was my mother-in-law I would have given her the Stone Cold Stunner. Go to hell lady. Her relationship with Adam was super creepy.
Scott: Ew
Anne: Meh
Kelly: Didn’t get to know her enough to from an opinion.
Sarah: INSUFFERABLE (but you already knew that from my rant above)
All the people on law enforcement: Ew
Rebecca: Meh
4) THE CHARACTER NAMES! What in the banana sandwich is going on here? The Morgans live in Washington, D.C., in the lovely neighborhood of Kalorama. Our MMC’s name is Adam Morgan. There is a popular area in the District of Columbia called Adams Morgan. I live roughly thirty minutes outside of Washington, D.C., and I used to go there and bar hop all the time with my brother and friends in my early to mid-twenties. Drop the ‘s’ on Adams Morgan, and boom, we have our character. Oh, and Kalorama is pretty much a part of Adams Morgan! That name gave me a chuckle. Oh, I got a good giggle out of that one.
Kelly Summers is Adam’s mistress and our unfortunate murder victim. During our lovely adventure, we met her husband. His name is Scott. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly. Kelly’s husband’s name is SCOTT SUMMERS. Is this guy the leader of the X-Men in his spare time? If he’s Cyclops, he should just say that. Why not use his optic blasts to kill Adam for sleeping with his wife and get it over with? If he had, it would have saved us all the headache of having to trudge through this book. That name sent me into hysterics. Surely Jeneva Rose could have gotten more creative with these two.
5) Rose’s writing style is juvenile. It was so repetitive. There was more telling than showing. The wit she was going for just wasn’t there. It all fell so flat. I know this is her debut novel, but surely she could have done better with it. I’m sorry, but her writing just flat-out sucked.
6) As someone who is childfree by choice (as is my husband), the idea that I would just wake up one day and decide to have a kid is mind-boggling to me. Sarah made the decision that she did not want children at least five years prior to when this story takes place and has stuck to her guns. Her whole life is wrapped up in her career. So, for her to just tell Adam randomly one night that they should try for a baby is insane. They have sex that same night; he blams in her, and she immediately hopes that “their efforts took.” WHAT IN THE ACTUALFUCK? NO! JUST NO! Surely, there would be much more thought and deep conversations to be had when making such a drastic decision regarding their lives as a couple.
I’m not saying that people can’t change their minds about these kinds of things. I’m just saying that this isn’t a logical way to go about doing that.
7)
8) I couldn’t stand the slut shaming. Sarah finds out that Kelly is sleeping with three men at one time and calls her a whore. Anne makes a comment about her getting around. I think Adam mentions that she’s loose, or maybe that was something Sarah also said. I DON’T CARE. We don’t get to shame women for being sexually promiscuous. Come on, people. I thought we were past that kind of crap.
9) I’m not at all condoning cheating, and I’m not saying that all partners put in this situation would stray from their marriage or relationship. But what did Sarah expect would happen with Adam? When she put her career before everything, including Adam and their marriage, why wouldn’t he go look for an emotional or physical connection with someone else? I mean, come on, Sarah more or less ignored her husband. She disappointed him repeatedly, all in the name of her career. She cared more about her pencil skirts, heels, and impeccable golden blonde bun than she did her own husband. Again, I’m not condoning Adam’s actions. I could just see why he would do what he did.
10) PLOT HOLES! That’s it; that’s the whole complaint.
11) Jeneva, honey, get a map of D.C., please. Shit, get a whole map of the DMV! Buy one from a store, Google one, borrow one. I don’t care how you get one; just get it! Because of the location of monuments, the White House, and museums in Washington, D.C., no office building would have a birds-eye view of the Washington Monument (at least I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be). Also, I don’t care what anyone says, but Manassas, Virginia, is not a lake house haven. Sure, they have lakes and some lake houses, but it’s not the best of the best lake towns. This is not where the elite go to spend their summers. Go to Annapolis, Maryland, or something.
12) The constant name-dropping of designer brands was disgusting. It was so overdone. If you want to spend $3,000 on a Hermes bag, go right ahead, Sarah. I’m happy with the $25.00 tote bag I got from T.J. Maxx. Thank you very much.
13) This whole book is so far-fetched. Nothing in here (aside from Adam’s affair) is believable. You really need to suspend reality in the most severe way to even try to remotely enjoy this story.
14) The ending was so rushed and ridiculous. It was comical. It truly was. I didn’t like it all. If you’re going to make us suffer through something like this, at least go out with a bang.
15) “This story has so many twists and turns.” Bitch where? WHERE?
16) My dad is a George Washington University alumni. So, Jeneva Rose canfuck all the way off for dogging GW. Personal biases aside, simple research would have let her know that GW is a very reputable and prestigious university. It's not just a place where people take night courses. Give the school the credit it deserves.
17) I have some unanswered questions:
Adam wakes up in the middle of the night and is unaware that Kelly has been killed. He has no idea that she’s dead. He sticks his finger in her badussy (because why wouldn’t he?) and is like, “Holy hell, this chick is so wet for me.” He wipes said hand on his jeans, and that’s the end of it. We never heard about it again. I’m assuming it was blood on his pants. If that’s the case, why was that never mentioned or discovered? Surly, once he got to a place with good lighting, he would have seen that it was blood and not lady juices. Even Sarah would have noticed the blood on his pants when he got home. What was the point of all that?
Anne and Sarah go out for drinks one night. It was mentioned that Anne did something weird and acted strange while they were out. Anne later texts Sarah and apologizes, but we, as the readers, have no idea what occurred. It was promptly dropped after Sarah read Anne’s text. It was never brought up again; nothing came of it. Again, what was the point?
What happened during Adam’s actual trial? What led to the verdict? We were left in the dark regarding all of that, as I mentioned above.
Why was everyone in the book so horny all the time? What was with all the raging hormones? Even in the most severe of situations, everyone was just thinking about banging! The day that Sarah learns that Adam was arrested for Kelly’s murder and she decides to defend him in court, the Sheriff starts flirting with her. The next day, the two of them are walking around the crime scene, where Sarah (HANDLES EVIDENCE) and the two of them start flirting a little bit. At one point, Sarah states that nothing can happen between them, even if she wanted it to. Although she wonders if the Sheriff is exactly what she needs right now, again, this woman just found out about a life-altering, marriage-destroying situation. Jesus Christ!
What was the point of Sarah’s unknown male visitor in the middle of the night? Why was that even in here? It added absolutely nothing to the story. The scene was also cringey AF. Was it supposed to be Bob? Because I'm pretty sure it was Bob. What the hell was that mess!?
Sarah gets a ride from Matthew to and from the police station when she finds out Adam was arrested. On the car ride home, she tells Matthew that she has decided to defend Adam at his trial. Matthew is against it and tries to talk Sarah out of it. That’s all we’re told on the matter. Suddenly, Matthew texts her to apologize for what he said during that conversation. But again, we are completely out of the loop. We have no idea what he said or what he was apologizing for. It was mentioned, then brushed under the rug like so many other things in his story. What did he say that made Sarah so upset? Why did he feel the need to apologize?
18) Jeneva, sweetie. It’s NOT a plot twist if the readers have no idea what is truly happening. The readers aren’t even given a chance to try and piece it together. I feel like I was lied to. The ending wasn’t a plot twist. It was dropped out of the sky from nowhere. It came out of left field. The plot twist was a home run ball from Aaron Judge that hit us in the face, and we never saw it coming. The angle she was going for would have worked much better if the story was told in third person instead of first.
The only good thing about this book is that it’s a great palette cleanser since it’s a very easy read with short chapters.
Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion. The thing I love about reading is that it’s subjective. So, if you enjoyed this book, I’m happy for you.
TLDR: IF YOU WANT TO SUFFER THROUGH SOMETHING READ THIS BOOK!

Adam was placed on house arrest when he was released on bail. He was to remain on house arrest until the trial was completed. He served his house arrest at the LAKE HOUSE WHERE THE MURDER TOOK PLACE. But it was cool since it was officially no longer a crime scene. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!Why was Sheriff Stevens still working on the case once it was out of the Prince Williams County Sheriff’s Office's hands?
Sarah interviewed people about the case under the guise of being a reporter. She gives the interviewee a fake name, a fake newspaper, and everything.

Medical professionals NEVER have anything to do with executing an inmate. That would violate their Hippocratic oath. Okay, I take that back. Some states require a doctor to be present during an execution just to check that an inmate's heart has stopped and they have in fact passed on. However, a medical professional would NEVER take part in the actual execution process.The legal pacing of the story was bananas. There is no way a trial date would be set for two weeks after a suspect's arraignment. Both the prosecution and the defense need enough time to build their cases before going on trial.

Adam is also charged with double homicide since Kelly was pregnant. Again, she was only FOUR WEEKS along. Most women don’t even know that they are pregnant at that time. So, for the state of Virginia to consider her death to be a double homicide is insane. We aren’t even talking about a fully formed baby at this point. Maybe if she were six or seven months pregnant, we would be looking at a double homicide, but surely not that early on in the pregnancy.The fact that they would even bring Adam in, put him on trial for homicide,

Sarah tells Adam about the third set of DNA found inside Kelly. It’s not Scott’s or Adam's, so it’s from an unknown male. Adam so desperately wants to believe that Kelly wasn’t cheating on Scott with someone other than himself that he wonders if maybe she was sexually assaulted. He was literally like, “Well, Kelly loved me, so maybe the third set of DNA found in her was from her being raped or sexually assaulted.” Adam would have rather his mistress be attacked in some way rather than admit that she was sleeping with someone who wasn’t him.
