The journalists' portions of this book: well-researched, factually reported breakdown of the crime and of who Ariel Castro was.
Gina and Amanda's portions of this book: honest sharing interlaced with unnecessary and heavy doses of We Don't Like Michelle Knight

Seriously. There were parts of this book where it seemed the message was how much they both dislike Michelle, today, rather than what happened to them, then.
I am carefully separating this present pettiness from the mind games Castro would play with the three girls; I completely understand the difference. But it's so blatant that, in the conclusion, you learn that Amanda and Gina go to the White House for an event honoring the missing, and Michelle is excluded. If I'd been through ten years of hell, and someone else had suffered in that hell even longer, it would not matter to me how I felt about her as a person. I would make completely sure she was by my side at that White House event because she is also a survivor.

Let me put it this way: I am an avid reader of true crime, and I was glad and relieved when this book ended.
