This isn’t really a thriller, and it’s more of a court drama/social commentary of our legal system/rape culture. 

I think I was in the mood for a thriller which is why my rating is a bit low, but I didn’t dislike this at all. I enjoyed the narration and the alternate POVs and storylines lent well to the story. The ending was satisfactory for what it was and I would happily read something else from this author.
