I was leaning more towards three stars but I believe I was because of the dystopian feelings I got from the book. This is not the type of book I would normally purchase but I’m really glad I decided to give it a shot. However my case maybe I found the novel very interesting. The concept of victims choosing the offenders offense was new. I imagined what if that was our world. What if we lived in a world where a punishment is chosen by victims and not by jury.
My expectations of the trails were not met. (I had read some that said Hunger games type of trails) And to be honest I really didn’t know what I was expecting. I was glad to see some representation for the lgbtq+ community.
I do love that there were two point of views! I know if we didn’t have Vins point of view I believe the reader would have been lost of the home life Violetta had to leave behind. This is a realistic idea I’m glad the author added.
So all in all I think it’s a book teenagers really need to engage in. I want the children of our world’s future to read this book and think about the modern day consequences of their actions. You only get one life.
