The book is a showcase of how hard it is to get out of a bad situation when you've been dealt a bad hand. However, Lynette just often does something incredibly naive without seemingly questioning the risks. She'll risk her life for a relative small win. Yet when she gets an easy and relatively low risk way to keep some money, she doesn't use it.
All in all the book felt like misery porn to me with a character that ran headfirst into risky situations without learning much.

A gritty heartbreaking book yet somehow so full of hope. Lynette will stay with me for eternity.
Do check trigger warnings before reading.
