At this point in time, 99% of the world has heard about the Amanda Knox case and trial - the student studying abroad who finds her roommate has been murdered. Cartwheel is a fictional tale based on some of the facts from this case and hearing a fictional tale about this major news story was very interesting.

Lilly is studying abroad in Buenos Aires and just 5 weeks in, her roommate is brutally murdered and from the beginning the focus is on her. Told through the eyes of her family, the prosecution and her before the incident, this book takes you through the befores and afters of the crime. I absolutely adored hearing the build up of Lilly and Katy's relationship, but I didn't quite love the parts from Eduardo the prosecutor. His abnormally large words and language felt out of character and I felt like his personal life was awkwardly used to affect his views of the case. The other characters and parts greatly outdid his.
