I definitely got this book because I was a fan of OITNB. I think it gives you the environment and starkness and violence of prison but not the big dramatic storylines and characters you have come to expect from the show. It made me feel depressed reading it. Not every book is meant to be tidy and happy.

unfortunately I didn't really vibe with the writing style. especially the flashbacks were a bit of a drag to get through and i didn't care that much about most characters. The highlight was definitely the dynamics between the characters inside the prison. I was pleasantly surprised that the author also included the issues with trans people in the prison system (Conan <3)
