At first, it was a bit of a stressful/sad read, watching Hardin’s descent and downfall, but I couldn’t stop reading. I was rooting for her the whole time! She has a wonderful writing style that finds the relatability in everything. I really appreciate how half of the book is focused on her release and parole. Parole is insanely broken for so many reasons, and I’m glad that part of the overall broken system got attention here. I want to read the other books she’s cowritten!
