This book is gripping, beautifully written, and challenging fictional narrative on the current prison system. The characters are complex, the multiple POVs engaging, and you can’t helped getting wrapped up like the crazed fans in this fucked up world. I found myself reacting out loud on so many occasions. This is a must read for sure.
