A story that has everything. Weight, love, sacrifice, devastation, and a STATEMENT. The fact footnotes are nails in the coffin. A book everyone should read and sit with, it's so worth it.
this book made my heart race, made me cry, made me have every visceral reaction in the book. 10/10 over and over again
What- oh my god. This book is beyond words beautiful. It presents no answer, only questions and explores modern day issues with the American prison system through an anti-capitalist and realistic lens. I just finished. I am in awe.
The book felt like the premise held more potential than it wound up being. The commentary on the prison system, while welcome, was a bit heavy handed. I would read more from this author, but I want more emotional depth and background from the characters to match the strength of the premise.
