 I saw the synopsis of this and immediately downloaded the KU version to start reading, even though I’ve already got another e-book and audiobook on the go. I was really pleased with this novella. I got a little squeamish during one part in particular between the MMC and inmate Reese. The writing was fantastic and I’ll definitely be reading more John Lynch in the future. 

I had originally given this 4 stars but upon thinking about it, it's definitely worth that many. I was kinda bored throughout the book but there was JUST enough to keep me reading, instead of DNFing, and the ending definitely made it jump up from 1 or 2 stars to the 3 I am giving it. I just feel like this book had a lot of potential but didn't quite live up to the hype of it. There were quite a few parts that I had to go back and do a little reread because I had missed a little detail amongst the mass amounts of words that weren't needed in the story. Several times I caught my eyeballs trying to skim forward. The banter wasn't that great either. Idk, maybe it wasn't for me, but I am certainly going to give the second one a chance when it comes out, if I remember. 

Okay, so, this wasn't good. There was so much repetition about literally everything. I don't know why I needed to know every article of clothing people wore, including the colour, but that happened. I know I wasn't that far in, but she was already bombing her new chance at life. I didn't care for everyone calling her crazy for defending herself, it literally made no sense. Idk, I know this book is super popular but it was just plain BAD. I have read better stories on Wattpad.
