When I read the description for this one I was intrigued as it seemed a creative and unique story. Overall I did think it was good, but for once I didn’t like that it was told in dual perspectives. I didn’t feel like Vince’s perspective really added to the story and it dragged on. I wanted more from Violetta and her story. I do think the book sounded more dystopian than it ended up being, but that honestly speaks to how twisted our juvenile justice system is that this didn’t seem too far from the truth. It just too one night of bad decisions for Violeta’s whole life to change. She drank alcohol and drove with her 7 year old sister in the car and when she crashed her little sister didn’t make it. Now she is in detention waiting to find out if her victims (her family) will forgive her, make her serve hard time upstate, or endure an unknown set of Trials to prove her worthiness for forgiveness.
