keomeara 's review for:
Notes on an Execution
by Danya Kukafka
dark
medium-paced
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This is a book about men hurting women (starting with Johnny hurting Lavender), the shortcomings of the child welfare system, and the failures of the justice system. It's also about the mind of a sociopath who cannot feel empathy but really wants to (and that's maybe the saddest part?).
I think my high expectations set me up for failure here because much of the plot fell flat to me, especially Saffy and Hazel's half-hearted, stiff critiques of social injustice... I also felt weird about the white author making the two cops WOC??
