⭐️⭐️⭐️.  The last chapter (about the lawsuit) was entirely unnecessary; but the rest of the book was well-written and entertaining.

So Lucky by Nicola Griffith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

I wanted to like this one, but I just didn’t find any of the characters particularly likable, and there were too many threads to keep everyone straight. 

So Many Fragile Things by Amy Kinzer Steidinger

2.5

Torn between ⭐️⭐️ and ⭐️⭐️⭐️.  Overall a good story, but I skimmed HUGE parts of the trial because there were entirely too many insignificant details.  The play-by-play writing was tedious, and would have benefited from a more ruthless editor.
