An entertaining courtroom drama that kept me interested. 

But I wish the twist at the end with the law suit from Nic had been explored more. I wish the Luz part of the story had ended halfway through the book and the second half could have explored Abby’s mothering and how she managed to get partial custody of Cal. That part seemed unbelievable to me.
