A different book than I thought it would be, but overall a pleasant read. I loved the script-like formatting, and I liked the fact that we don’t find out if
Steve is guilty or innocent  - that it’s up to us to decide.
I wouldn’t typically read a book like this, but it was fun to branch out and try something new. I loved the characters and the dialogue, and the relationships between family are shown pretty well. Overall a good read!
