The strongest literary device here to me was that this book was the same exact story being told from different POVs multiple times, while this at moments felt a little repetitive I loved that every chapter could be the same events but a completely different story based on the narrator. Every new retelling flipped what you had known previously on its head which made you question each character. There were times where I felt disgust and sympathy toward each person and it all depended on who was talking.
I wasn’t sure how they’d wrap this all up but I think the end was a nice little tie up to the events of the story and ultimately as close to Justice as one could expect in a situation like this.
Overall, this was an interesting read and while it could’ve grabbed me more I did appreciate the use of unique story telling and I’m excited to watch the movie.

P.S: One incident is told many times so repetition can annoy some readers.
