This book is not for the faint of heart. It is deeply triggering and is depressing at times. The narration paints a grey setting with very few lighthearted points in the plot. It needs a heavy trigger warning. I need a much lighter read after this one 😅

I think in terms of the book itself, the only criticism I have is that the jumping from perspectives and in a 20 year timeline got confusing and sometimes left me feeling like I needed more from certain scenarios. Oh that and I hated the fact that Ansel thought he was some genius for getting a prison guard to be apparently "shaken" by his seduction powers. Otherwise, I think it's a great read. Just don't think you're gonna get a play by play of a murder, because you're not.
