“You are not guilty— a physician is never ‘guilty’. Wretches come to us for help & we provide what help we can, with God’s grace; if God does not behave charitably with His grace, that is hardly our fault.”
Yikes! 😱

This is horrific!
*continues reading*

Heat wave is coming up where I live, and I can’t think of a better book to read when it does! ☀️

100 pages in and only now does it feel like we’re done with the setup.
I’m ready for something to actually happen and not just hint at happening.

Aaaaand at this point, it lost me with the bullshit.

And at last we get to the smut! 😍

Picked via random number chooser, #34 on my to-read list, so I've had my eye on this for a while. I fully expect it to be cliche and bad, but honestly, that's kind of what I'm hoping for!

“I could no more send an innocent man to prison than I could let a guilty one go free. The system that allowed a defendant to buy a hotshot lawyer to get him off was the same system that pitted seasoned prosecutors with unlimited resources against public defenders who couldn’t buy their clients a bus ticket to get them to court. The system was wrong. It allowed the players to rule.”

“Truth has no place in the trial because no one is concerned with finding it, least of all the lawyers or the judge.”
Me: …hearing a former lawyer write this makes SO much sense!

By chapter 25: Okay, I NEED a movie version of this.
I know there isn't one yet, but there SHOULD be.

"Lawyers are often asked how they can represent someone they know to be guilty. [...] I'd always given the same answer--we don't. [...] I never asked any of my clients if they were guilty [...] because there was always the terrible possibility that they might just tell you the truth. The truth has no place in a courtroom. The only thing that matters is what the prosecution can prove."

“Stepping into a courtroom is just like going to Vegas and rolling the dice— anything can happen.”
Seriously, this is probably one of the best things I’ve read in a while. And I’m talking about the whole book so far, not just this quote.

“Why would God get involved in the affairs of his own church? He’s turned a blind eye to the corruption for centuries.”
Hahahahhahahahahahaha! 😂

“It’s not enough to be in love with love. You must be willing to suffer with him, too.”

"Simple. It's like elders who tell you to be calm. So passionless. So uncommitted. As if you could find God at the bottom of your bowl. As if God would notice you if you were simple."
