I really like the premise of this novel. That mistrust in the police leads to a life dedicated to the law to make sure everyone has the fairest possible experience. Until you realise that you are aiding and abetting a system that is so deeply flawed and rigged with corruption. And when you become the victim, you finally see that what you've been fighting for your entire adult life stops you from getting the outcome you deserve.
Tessa is a really interesting protagonist and I learned alot about the inner workings of barrister life. As a Liverpool diva, her home life felt very much like my family up there. Every character was very believable and this helped me tear through the novel in two days flat.
I love novels that teach me things I didn't know before and there was nothing in Prima Facie that I wasn't expecting or anticipating. That's why it falls short of the 4 star. However, like the Barbie movie, it could really change someone's life.
I would definitely watch the Jodie Comer play, perhaps it takes it to a different level.
