Many thanks to NetGalley, Penguin Random House Canada/Doubleday Canada for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Jane Corry. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Twenty years ago, there is a tragic accident that leaves an 18-year-old Janie for dead on the street, hit by a van that then took off. In present time, Robbie Manning, international singing star, is arrested for Janie's attempted murder. Robbie has been waiting for the truth to come out for 20 years, but he's still terrified. Who knows the whole story of what happened that day?
There's a lot to unpack in this story, told from these two timelines from multiple POVs. We hear from Robbie and Janie, as well as Vanessa, a victim support person, and the judge. Everyone is holding secrets back for a multitude of reasons, and discovering all of them will take a bit of patience as they slowly merge. What I really enjoyed was exploring how one wrong decision can affect so many people down the line. I also enjoyed Vanessa's role as victim support as she helped witnesses navigate testifying. This is a twisty one, with well-developed characters, and an intriguing plot.
