I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I feel like so many books don’t cover 40-something life so that was something I really liked about this novel. I loved Liz’s character and as she struggled with what happened at a college party 20 years ago it was fascinating to see how she attempts to navigate it at present. The themes of guilt and trauma were very strong throughout this book. Most of all though, this novel highlighted her self empowerment and I was moved by it and could relate to things in my own life. This book also looks at how life can be when you look at both sides of a crime - from the victim to the person who commits it. I found myself grappling with what was right and wrong and how this such a huge grey area. This book will really make you think about things in a bigger scope. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished.
