Now a major film starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton! Natasha- I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story.Daniel- I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us.The Universe- Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

Defeated by Justice contains all the elements that an avid reader expects from an enjoyable and memorable book. Apart from the interesting and unique backdrop, the South African Police Force in 80's and 90's South Africa, the perspective of a female at this historic time in a male-dominated environment adds to the continuously building suspense and story evolvement. The writing is sharp and witty throughout and the drama of the main character development is believable, frustrating and sad at the same time. Carefully researched and craftily written, it will exhaust, yet revitalize any reader, as any successful creative roller-coaster should do! Compelling must-read, definite repeat-read!
