The Panopticon follows Anais and her story of living in the social care system. It made me smile warmly at her friendships with Tash, Shortie and the rest of the Panopticon gang and their times of... Just being kids. Or at least trying to be.
This book has hard times. There are dark topics, which bluntly, need to be covered because they are very real and very true for a lot of individuals who are care experienced. Well done Fagan; someone had to tell the stories that nobody wants to hear, and you did it in a way that left me astonished.
