When I started reading this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. It started out in the first person, and then switched to the third person, necessarily, given the depths of the universal lying that is at the center of this book. No one can be believed and it feels as though the truth is never going to be told, until, eventually, we learn the truth all at once, but too late. Those who deserve to be punished, mostly, are punished, and there are a lot of guilty what ifs. It's entertaining and informative and well written and a quick read.
I was drawn to this book because it won an Edgar Award for best debut novel and I tend to really like Edgar Award books as they are typically well done mystery/thrillers. Angie Kim does an amazing job weaving together a murder trial with themes of motherhood and immigration so it’s not your typical mystery which I loved. Be sure to read all of the author’s notes and highlights on Goodreads. It truly added to the enjoyment of the book. Highly recommend!
Rather depressing, frankly. Some beautiful writing, but if you're looking for a happy ending, this ain't it.
