-Description-
We have our Nearly Normal Family, and the story is told from each of their perspectives-Adam (a pastor-kinda), Ulrika (a lawyer), and their daughter Stella. It’s Stella’s 18th Birthday and shortly after her parents get the call that she has been arrested for murder of a man they have never heard of.
-Thoughts-
1. I love stories told from various points of view. This one did not disappoint. These were 3 very specific, very different voices. We got to really know each of these main characters. I would have loved if Stella’s best friend, Amina, also had a voice in this.
2. The ending for me wasn’t some great reveal. Maybe I’m just crazy and was expecting something that I didn’t see coming. It seemed predictable, but that was ok. Knowing that the ending wasn’t going to be some crazy reveal, may have lessened that disappointment.
