Yeah. No. I can't.
This is just a 300 page humble brag on how fortunate she was on hundreds of occasions during her prison sentence. Her "self reflection" on not wanting to be perceived as racist. More humble bragging. A Thousand subtle ways of telling us she felt she was better than those around her - but in a /humble/ way. Even more humble bragging.
"I was the /freak/ with the books" - oh. Shut. UP.
Even the fucking books she was sent were pretentious as fuck.
Literally nothing happens and I'm over it.
Edit: and omg the blurb of the book makes it seem like she made a conscious choice to be a drug smuggler/money launderer for *years* and it turns out she did it ONCE because her then girlfriend basically put her up against a corner. God. I almost wish it had been the implied version, I may have respected her more.
