Kick Lannigan is tough. I liked that. And not because she's perfectly unaffected because she's not - she's a total mess. But she's a mess that pushes on anyway. Kick is a survivor. This was an intense read. The emotions and the conflict Kick feels as she confronts her fractured memories, her family and the overwhelming guilt batter straight through you. I appreciated though that she was both broken and whole. Which sounds kind of weird but she was. I think the mental health issues were addressed very well. I will say though the blurb had me expecting something different. Something more logical. This wasn't and in a way it was a lot better. This wasn't a straight procedural where Kick is leading the cause and tackling every issue without fear. I liked that all of the characters were imperfect. There wasn't one character who was flat - they all had their own internal struggles and problems - and you could see that even if it wasn't explored with any depth - perhaps one of the best examples of the whole show not tell.
I wish there was more.
