Changing my review of this book from 4 stars to 1 star. It just came out on November 24 2021 that Alice Sebold sent the wrong person to jail for 16 years which completely changes the nature of this memoir. It is actually insane to me that the only reason this man's innocence came to light is because Netflix was in the middle of creating a movie adaptation of Lucky and one of the producers discovered there to be huge differences between the script and the book. Said producer, Tim Mucciante, hired a private investigator who was eventually able to prove this man's innocence.

Not saying that Sebold is racist for sending the wrong black man to jail but the fact that her response to all of this as of this writing is "no comment" speaks volumes. This is just a tragic story all around but this memoir needs to be dramatically updated or removed from sale as it's done irreperable damage to an innocent man's reputation and life.
