Well what a book!! This is the kind of book that you can quite easily lose yourself in as the desperation to discover what really happened on the night that this story revolves around kicks in.
She Said, Three Said is split into two narratives, the jurors deliberating on the trial and this alternates to the four main characters version of events that night. I really liked that we were following along at the same rate as the jurors but that we were discovering what actually happened rather than speculating about it. The change from character to character and then to the jurors really helps to build the suspense in the story, especially as the differences between what has been shown in court and what happened on the night become known.
The characters are a perfect mix from this kind of story, Jason, Zach and Li are friends but all very different and it’s these differences that give the story its edge, because as you hear the story for each characters point of view you can see where their assumptions change the course of the evening. Sabrina I found a very interesting character, a bit of an enigma at times, and I was intrigued to discover more about her as the book went on.
The jurors were also a mixed bunch and I liked that they were all but one called by their juror number rather than their names. You do find out about them, who they are and what they do, but when they are discussing things I liked that there was a level of anonymity because I couldn’t always quite remember which juror it was by their number. Again though there were a lot of differences in the jurors and it made for some tense arguments and power struggles which added to the entertainment.
All I can say about the storyline is that I was gripped, waiting to find out what actually happened and I’m not going to say much but I didn’t expect what happened at all. I was definitely surprised by some of the goings on throughout the story and it added to my excitement and anticipation.
