This is the story of a love triangle made more complex by the wrongful conviction of one of the main characters. What is extraordinary about this book is the three main characters. They are all fully realized and believable. None is perfect, but none of the three are imperfect enough to dislike for long. Though their actions may be questionable, the reader often understands why they have behaved this way. It’s a delicate balance, maintaining a tension that kept me reading long after I should have gone to bed.

Though I felt a bit let down by the quick and easy resolution of the Epilogue, this is an extraordinary book that explores what it means to be in find someone to love, to find your place in the world and to lose both through through a justice system that is still prejudiced and unfair.
