MY REVIEW
Now, I am not normally one to pick up books about prison, drugs and rehabilitation. It is not that they aren't good stories, but they are just not the type of story that I would pick up. That said, however, there was something about this book that drew me in.
When reading the description, for me it read like this was going to be the story of Dani breaking out of prison to get to her daughter. Realistically, for me this was not the best part of this story. The best part was actually learning more about Dani, her background and watching her character grow as the story goes along. We start off the story by seeing her as a repeat offender, someone who is always going to end up back in prison. As the story goes on, she changes and really wanting to rather than being forced into change.
Don't let some characters fool you in this story, some are mean and some are friendly but that doesn't mean that they are going to stay that way... There is also a kind of supernatural/psychic element to it that although it was woven into the story very nicely, I found it very hard to believe that was really happening.
A really dramatic character driven story that you really should pick up...
