I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

This is set at Regis University in 1997/8 where Rosalind's roommate goes missing during an ice storm, and then in 2020 when Rosalind's ex is accused of sexual assault. I thought the writing was good, and although I found Rosalind extremely unlikeable, her character and her justifications were all too believable in the 1997/8 sections. However, she didn't seem to have matured at all by 2020, and her actions and reactions were less convincing, I felt. On the one hand she took a very firm stance on #metoo and women being believed, but she still seemed willing to agree with and accept anything her ex and her appalling former university 'friends' threw at her. Her lack of self-awareness or even of any sense of identity made for uncomfortable reading, and I'm not sure whether at the end Rosalind really would have made any changes.… (más)
