It hooked me!

At first when I started this book, it was kind of hard to get into it. I was not so much a fan of the Father's section. Adam came off as too controlling, trying to keep his little world perfect, even though it was far from it. He found the witnesses and made more of a mess trying to get his daughter to be released from jail. The Daughter's section is where I got hooked into the story, learning about Stella's life and why she was the way she was. She made poor choices sometimes and had anger issues but what teenager doesn't? That part of the story, I got through really quickly and I got very invested in how the case was going who might be the killer of Chris. The Mother's section ended things and though I wasn't a fan so much of how Ulrika was, she pulled all the bits together and it was an exciting finish. I ended up liking this book more than I thought I would.
