adventurous challenging dark emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

4.0

An excellent first-person account of how oppressive systems and structures create poverty and crime. Sociologically: Chef’s kiss!

Toxic masculinity and ableism are deeply entrenched in this lifestyle, so approach with caution.
