My review: 3.85ā
Rape is a tough topic to write about, especially when it’s written by a male author, IMO. I thought he did an excellent job by not boring us with the court proceedings, but by giving the jurors a voice.
She ~ Sabrina is the victim. Three ~ Jason, Li and Zach are best mates with Jason being a famous footballer. These 3 have been friends for a while, so they have plenty of stories and secrets between them. Are they ones that always try to cover things up and are they doing so in this case or was it consensual? There’s the unfortunate fact that alcohol was involved, which can make the situation sticky for all parties involved.
I appreciated that it was told by each of the main characters and, as an added bonus, by the jurors as they deliberated. Calling each other by their numbers was interesting.
Each chapter being timestamped really helped peel back the actions of the night through each of their eyes. In some instances this led to repetition, but I was still able to stay alert and remain engaged throughout.
8 hours and 6 mins. I am VERY happy that there were multiple narrators. Amy Creighton, Stephen Dalton, Jack Boylan, Patrick FitzSymons, and Sean Doyle did a wonderful job, although some had thick accents and I had to bump my listening from 2x to 1.75 at times.
Overall this was decent. I’m not sure I liked the ending though. This is my first time with this author and wouldn’t mind reading/listening to his work again.
