This was a difficult book to read as the subject was distressing, but the author took a sensitive rather than sensationalist approach. I really felt for the characters as the book progressed and you couldn’t help but put yourself in their shoes and ponder on how you would react in the same circumstances.
I enjoyed the writing style and felt the book was well paced and exactly detailed enough. I would look to read more books from this author. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.

Maddie confronts her past years later because she wants her life to be more than “the incident.” Her boyfriend, Jay, tells her she can hear the trial which was recorded. As Maddie listens to the trial she is she brought back to the past when she finds out her father sexually assaulted her best friend, Summer. Maddie wonders why didn’t Summer tell me, or did she know? What happens when Maddie visits her dad in prison and then goes to see her mom? Can she move on like Jay suggests she should?

This was a fast story to get lost in. Difficult subject matter at times but loved the writing style. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
