Could not put this down. I finished it in 24 hrs. Really enjoyed the writing style. It gave a powerful commentary on how the justice system can destroy familial relationships. For me, the most compelling thing about this book was Constance's rejection of societal norms and her unexpected and unsentimental views on life, love, and motherhood. An important piece of autofiction.
