Cop Town by Karin Slaughter
5.0
"How can awful people be good?
I find this book a tough reality check. Most of the parts was hard for me to swallow and it was only because it was tackling something I could easily forget: abuse can come in any forms. It can be physical, or it can be through position, or words. I thought it's always easy to fight for yourself, but there is always the right timing.
I love both the protagonists on this book. They would become these fictional characters I would go back to. They reminded me that sometimes silence can speak up for itself, and that patience is a good practice for resistance. As much as I loved to see how everything unraveled, I realized I didn't want to end. I love reading the action scenes and how it makes me hold my breath. I love the character conversations about change, whether that's within ourselves or in our society. This book has really enlightened me.

First thing I want to say is, how satisfied I feel about the ending, of a specific character's ending rather. I couldn't stop annotating my books with amused exclamations while reading that confrontation.I find this book a tough reality check.
