Book review!

Hey everyone! I haven't been on here in awhile, so when I got an email asking to review some books (for free) and post my reviews on my blog I was very excited as you know I really love to read. So i ordered my first book, got it last week and started and finished it in the last week. The first book I chose was The Execution of Noa P. Singleton. by Elizabeth L. Silver. I feel like I had heard about this book, or have seen it before so I decided to try it, I usually don't read the back of books and just go by instinct, so that is what I did with this one. It is about a girl on death row only 6 months from her execution and about the girl she killed mom coming to try to get her clemency. It is basically her in her cell thinking of the past and her talking to a newly graduated law student regarding her life. It isnt about prison life, it isn't "Orange is the New Black" type of book. Every turn there is a new thing you realize that makes things make sense. Her mom dropped her as a baby and the implications of her mom lying to police that an intruder came in and how that effected the rest of her life. A deadbeat non existent dad who she finally finds. I am not sure if i liked the main character or not. I cant even say, but this is one of those books that will stay with me for a long while. I do recommend reading if you want a thought provoking book, like the law or crime novels. No romance really in this book. I give this one 3.5 stars out of 5 if I am giving a rating system. Below are some links to were you can find out more information. I would read something from the same author again. The Execution of Noa P. Singleton PB Press Release More Info Author Bio
