What I loved
Absolutely freaking everything. This heart wrenching story lent itself perfectly to be told in verse. It was powerful, poignant, and touches on so many important topics. From racism to the absolute injustices of the US prison system, this story doesn't hold back any punches when it comes to it's message.
