Rebecca's Thoughts

Mini Book Reviews!

originally from Books I Read in January 2023!

4/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a book about a court case, a family, and the secrets they hide. When Cassie Quinn gets a phone call her life changes she is forced to confront her family and her past.

When her brother Billy gets arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Diana, she rushes home and has to grapple with the truth. Billy and Diana’s relationship was tumultuous and Cassie doesn’t know who to believe. Does she stand with her family or does she turn her back to them as she did in the past?

It’s not a fun or particularly enjoyable read but rather grabs your attention and captivates you with its characters and mystery. Saying that the mystery can be somewhat predictable but I don’t think that takes away from the story. The characters are insufferable and never seem to make the right decisions. At the same time, however, they seem very human and real. It belongs to a group of books that I like to call “infuriating rich people think they can evade the law and do the dumbest of things” and fits that genre quite well.
