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)
