Clarissa has a stalker and she spends the book trying hard to gather a book of evidence to help present her case to the police. At the same time as she is gathering her things, she is called as a juror on a case where a woman was brutally beaten and raped and her validity is called into question, a coincidence but a stunning one at that!

I am not a literary person, so I am going to try to explain something here - the author wrote parts of this book from the mouth of Clarissa, the victim writing to her stalker (you) and these parts were so powerful, but the narration would switch at times and it made it a little confusing and hard to read. Because of this, it took me awhile to read the book, but I loved the "you" parts so much and found them to be utterly unique that they made up for some of the confusion.

I liked this book for its uniqueness and the ending was more than satisfying. I just wish the middle had picked up a little more speed.
