Forgive me not

A book about family and forgiveness. When the ultimate tragedy wrecks a family, Violetta finds herself the cause and must learn to take accountability through a system of Trials designed to reform kids, mainly kids of color.

This is such a different contemporary book since half of it takes place in a detention center focused on reforming teens and the other half taken outside with her brothers POV. It’s interesting to see both sides of the situation and how your actions affect all those around you.

The book has a slow middle with the trials not even really starting until halfway through and even then they aren’t as high stakes as the first half would have u believe.

Another issue i had was the ending which I found to be a little unsatisfying as we never really get closer for vin in the end either as the other main POV. But we are able to find and end for Violetta that was wonderful and poetic.

I really hope Violetta and Vince’s story and strength help someone who’s experienced any similar situation or have been affected by one.
