"For every woman who has been ignored, belittled, dismissed, forgotten, overlooked, or abused, this one is for you!"

With a dedication like this, I had high hopes. Cons, the fact that half the book is spoiled in the blurb? 
My suggestion is to go in blind. I wish I had. 
Coming to the commentary in the book, it was doing quite a bit. Commentary on the legal justice system, and feminism. I would say it mostly worked though. Sometimes I was questioning the characters' motives, and wondering what the book was trying to convey.

Pros, I loved the fact that this has 2 parellely running plotlines. The writing is very fast-paced, the stakes keep building and to a very tense point, chapters end in cliffhangers. 
The characters, I loved the building of the complex female friendships. 
There were a couple plot twists that I didn't see coming. 

All in all, this was a great thriller that I had a fun time with. Not necessarily a favourite, but very enjoyable.
