Would I recommend it?Yes

Would I read more of the series?Yes

Would I read more by this author?Yes.

First off I want to say huge  thank you to the publisher St. Martin's Press,  the author Kia Abdullah, and to NetGalley for inviting me to read and review this book. When I got the invite to read it I was so happy because friends who had already read it said it was good and it was , its the type of story that makes you feel something for the main character but it also makes you question about what your reading and wither you can trust the main character at all and that's what happened with Jodie. Because this book had me all over the place, there was times I wanted to scream and there was times the only thing I could do was shake my head. As for the story itself it had  complex characters and a well-developed plot,and it was a will thought out to the point that it was believable , the type of story you could and would see in the news . 

So if your looking for an interesting and thought provoking read then this is the one for you.

From author Kia Abdullah, Take It Back is a harrowing and twisting courtroom thriller that keeps you guessing until the last page is turned.

One victim.
Four accused.
Who is telling the truth?

Zara Kaleel, one of London's brightest legal minds, shattered the expectations placed on her by her family and forged a brilliant legal career. But her decisions came at a high cost, and now, battling her own demons, she has exchanged her high profile career for a job at a sexual assault center, helping victims who need her the most. Victims like Jodie Wolfe.

When Jodie, a sixteen-year-old girl with facial deformities, accuses four boys in her class of an unthinkable crime, the community is torn apart. After all, these four teenage defendants are from hard-working immigrant families and they all have proven alibis. Even Jodie's best friend doesn't believe her.

But Zara does—and she is determined to fight for Jodie—to find the truth in the face of public outcry. And as issues of sex, race and social justice collide, the most explosive criminal trial of the year builds to a shocking conclusion.
