*thank you to libro.fm for the ALC* 

I’m a little late on reading this (I believe I got it from the January ALC picks) but this was a hard hitting thriller dealing with SA of a minor and the aftermath. 

We follow Felicia, a single mother and lawyer/volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline, starting when she answers the phone to a distressed young woman saying she was a victim of sexual assault at a local house party. The story flows from there, and when you get the jist of the synopsis, it does become predictable, but i think this story is more about Felicia grappling between what she should do that’s her moral responsibility, or her motherly instincts to protect her child. 

This packs a punch in just under 4 hours for an audiobook. I flew through this in one sitting (with the speed upped). While I found the plot sort of predictable, the reveal still had me gobsmacked (the way it was revealed). 

If you’re a fan of Lucinda Berry and haven’t picked this up yet, i recommend it!
