When I read the blurb of this book I was really intrigued, I thought it would be a real story of friendship forged from the criminalities of three women's husbands.
Christina, Cissy and Margaret meet at visiting time while visiting their husbands in prison. Though they are all from completely different walks of life, they have more in common than they first realise what with their husbands all being murderers. The three become the best of friends but their husbands all cross each others path in prison without realising the relationship between them.
The three female characters were likable and relatable to their walk of life, but it just felt like there were too many scenarios happening and I couldn't keep up in parts as the story kept jumping straight from one place to another in the same chapter. It was only nearer the end that I was kept hanging on as I didn't see it coming and I wanted to know if all of the characters got their happy endings.
In general though, Prisoners of Love is a great story of friendship, family and being there for each other through the good and bad. 3* read for me.
