I absolutely adored “The Escape Room” by Megan and when I found out about this book I was so excited to read it. This was a completely different tone from the previous book. This was much more of a dark court drama mystery and I have a lot of feelings after finishing it. I really liked our protagonist Rachel and liked the format of being able to read between the interchanging views of Rachel and Hannah, and also Rachel’s podcast. Big trigger warning: graphic descriptions and rape. Oh good god, reading this had me equal parts frustrated and angry whole also enthralled. The main themes of this book deals with the treatment of rape victims from society, to within the courtroom, and how just fucking frustrating it is. I felt so much for Kelly and Jenny and what was done to them, the way they were treated, the things they had to endure, the aftermath and everything in between. This was a rough book. It is not for the faint of heart and it’s not some thriller like the first book. It was an excellent story and I can’t wait to see what the author writes next.
