Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

A 13-year-old girl steals her father's gun and intentionally shoots and kills her 13-year-old brother.

The brother, BTW, was recently diagnosed with Huntington's Disease and his prognosis was grim.

A small-town lawyer/family friend is hired to defend the young female protagonist.

What's there not to like?

1) Pacing.
Waaaay too slow.

2) Flowery text.
Not a fan of flowery text.

Although the book's "forgiveness and letting go" premise was ultra-compelling, the book did not work for me.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Thérèse Plummer, one of my favorite narrators.

Even with a Thérèse Plummer narration, I struggled to keep my eyes open.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 stars.
