This book is dripping with white privilege, and as much as I tried, I couldn’t get passed its blatant disregard for the story that really mattered: Lyla’s. Instead of focusing on the tragedy that happened to a young high school girl, the author gave the POV/narrator mostly to the offenders mother, who was seemingly in the midst of an inner turmoil with her upper class lifestyle and marriage. The book was trash. I’m not going to read a book that attempts to victimize the privileged white woman in a story of assault on a minority. -A white woman
