Loved the weekly book club - prison group idea. The in-depth look into the lives/crimes of the female prisoners, and especially the civilian/leader's life.

I really loved this! I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the story. These characters are very human, imperfect and unique in their own ways, and I loved discovering the connections they made.
