I'm definitely a true crime junkie and was definitely pressed to the TV for the Amanda Knox trials when they happened. I have not read her previous memoir but I think I will now. The writing in this book was really well done. She is a very thoughtful person and I felt like she was very raw and honest about so many topics. She touches upon the case but not in detail (which is why I want to read the previous book) but focuses more on the way she navigated psychologically through the interrogation, trial, prison, her release and getting back to regular life. What I appreciated is that she did acknowledge that while she was struggling, Meredith didn't get the opportunities she has had. 4 years of strife has had a ton of impact and shaped her life but she still has one. I really appreciated her talking about social justice reform and was so intrigued by her relationship with the man who prosecuted her. There is a bit about motherhood and some about religion and personal growth but it really felt to me most about resilience and her telling her truth and showing her character with a little more maturity.
