Trigger warning for sexual assault/rape.
While I came in to the book expecting romance centered book as I didn't read the synopsis, I was surprised in a good way to read a story about a rape survivor, even if I had to take a break. It really puts the corruption of the American justice system in perspective especially as the author mentioned in the author's note that there are multiple cases similar to the one in the book, but with not such happy endings. It was a great and informative read. I would highly recommend it.
