Meh. Interesting story but ruined by the lack of research, crazy inaccuracies, and boring characters. So many of those issues could have been fixed simply by aging the characters up to college. Instead there were chapters dedicated to trying to explain plot holes in illogical ways (like how a high schooler is in multiple conflicting roles that all require masters degrees with zero experience). Almost made worse by the court scenes where the author just seems like they're yelling "see I researched this part and it's not like the movies". Main character was dull without any development. The actual case was interesting and could have been used to delve more into varying personalities but it wasn't. Plot was there but characters were not. Had potential to be great but fell very short.
