5 stars!
I just checked, and it's been 2 whole years since I've read a Karin Slaughter book - I can't for the life of me understand why, because this was SO GOOD! I love her books because she is the only author that can write a thriller that will actually make me tear up at the end. There's something so raw and emotional about the way she writes her characters that I deeply relate to, and this one is no exception. I loved Callie and Leigh's relationship so much and the way they continued to love and accept each other through all of their flaws and mistakes. You can tell that Slaughter did a ton of research as well to support not only the setting here, but the topics at hand. The conversation around addiction especially felt extremely well-researched and timely, and I found myself highlighting quite a bit. It was also very interesting to be back in the height of covid for this and it definitely added to the intensity of the story. Will need to pick another one up by her soon!
