The reviews are mixed on this book and after finishing my ARC copy, I now know why. Even my own view is divided. The story itself is grippingly realistic and drawn straight from currents news topics. It’s exceptionally well done in that regard and the author has done a great job at balancing the character’s reactions to the event. Now (and this is where most people, including myself, struggled with the title): the characters are just horrible people. It is impossible to feel any type of empathy for them whatsoever. Which really explains the stark division in reviews: some people will hate them so much they give up reading while others will “soldier” on to make it through to the end. I’m not sure what the author intended here. If the intent was indeed to make the reader hate all the characters, the author succeeded. If it was to show the arrogance of the characters and their lack of empathy to others, the author succeeded as well. I can respect that and, if those were the goals, it was a well done and well thought out narrative. If, however, the goal was to bring the story of hate crimes to light from a behind the scenes perspective then the book didn’t serve its purpose very well in my opinion. Readers need to be relate to at least one character and by making the reader hate them all, it was impossible to try and understand how their upbringing and failures as “decent” people caused them to be involved in such a situation because, frankly, I didn’t care about any of them or why they did (or didn’t do) something or what it might cost them. In other words, because they were such snarky characters I was never able to get invested in the story. If you can move past this character issue then you may enjoy the book but be forewarned that you will have to WORK at relating to a character and, for me anyway, that takes away the magic of books even the realistic fiction ones.
