Perfect Little Lives by Amber Brown

 Simone's life was turned upside down when her mother was murdered and her father was found guilty of her murder. This resulted in a massive life change for Simone. She was uprooted from living with both parents in a wealthy neighborhood to barely making ends met. Amongst all of these tragic events she also lost her best friend Hunter. Hunter and Simone formed a strong bond over the years as neighbors and when they run into one another - they are giving a second chance to rekindle their friendship. A friendship  that might lead to helping her free her father, who has maintaining his innocence.

Simone has a true crime documentarian breathing down her neck. The documentary is about her mothers murder and father's conviction. She's up against time as the release of it could hurt her fathers case. Simone is carrying a lot of her plate including her job and boyfriend. 

Perfect Little Lives is a character driven book however it took me a bit to get past the initial start of the book as it was a bit more than I anticipated. This book has romance, true crime and triller all rolled into one however it wasn't executed very well and sometimes felt unreal.  

Overall the read was decent and the story itself was very interesting. Simone is an unlikable character more often then not but you still cheer for her and want the best outcome for her.
