About this listen

The best-selling author of My Sister's Keeper and The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy.

Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens - until the day its complacency is shattered by an act of violence. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes - or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.

I thoroughly enjoy this book, having read it through multiple times years ago, I am now listening on audible due to being time poor. The story is incredible, thought provoking and complex, especially in todays climate. However, I have found the narration to be a let down. The narrator putting on the same strange, gruff tone whenever speaking as one of the make characters is very off putting and removes you from the immersive experience. I found their tone for certain dialogue to be unsuitable for the conversations. I wish it had been narrated better as it is such a great story overall.

Great book, narration is a let down.

I was expecting more of a twist at the end, Picoult could have gone much further with the ending. As it was, I’d already predicted the twist from the beginning and I hoped there’d be more. Still, I liked the pace & subject matter.

Great, sad story which evokes many memories and leaves open wounds for many. Bullying is still so prevalent in schools. Just sad.

Easy to listen to and follow. Captivating

Jodi always writes great books, this one was no different. Brilliantly written, sad storyline but a great book to read.

Such a great storyline, sadly too common.
