I love a literary thriller and I don’t think many authors do them better than Angie Kim. This might have been my first courtroom thriller too and I really enjoyed it even though it was a little slower paced—a character study at its finest. I didn’t expect such a raw investigation of motherhood and all its rough edges, especially when it concerns differently-abled kids, but I loved that about this book. Every character was soooo complicated and nuanced. I wish we would have gotten a little more from Mary’s perspective and even Janine. By the last two or three hours of the audiobook though, I could not put this down. Out of Kim’s two books at this point in time, I liked Happiness Falls a bit more, but honestly I loved both and can’t wait for whatever she publishes next.
