Going into reading this book, if you ready the summary or taglines, you knew off the bat the main character was a murderer. So the book took you on a journey of why she did what she did and how she was accused of one she didn't do. So having what may be a spoiler in many other stories be told upfront was a different take and an interesting ride. I actually did not completely dislike the main character despite her huge character flaw. And maybe because the story was told from the main character's view that aided in humanizing her and not despising her. I'm sure if another narrative was presented in conjunction it may have changed that feeling. If you like suspenseful, mystery, thriller type reads, I would recommend picking this book up.
