Found this recommendation by Ruby Dixon- really good story (almost a 5).
It is gritty and a sad, hard world but I appreciate the lightness and humor our heroine Gemma has and her interactions with Simon. She gets to talk to him in a completely irreverent manner which (of course) takes him by surprise. Slow burn story.
This story is greatly detailed, and practical I might say, considering our heroines' debate to herself about trying to smuggle yogurt into the prison using the body cavities most people try to use. Too funny.
You cheer for the good guys, hate the bad guys and the aliens are well described and interesting- especially the Little Green Man. The prison was portrayed well but I think the best part was how Simon became alive when Gemma came along. They became each others' reason to live.
