Compact Failure
Rules are rules. But in a place where true friendship is gold dust, rules beg to be broken. Chelle and Denise go way back. Denise, with her loud mouth and long extensions, made the same-old-same-old of prison life not so bad. But when Densie leaves, with no goodbye, no nothing, Chelle figures she's just run out of friendships. Then Ruthie walks in...

I nearly cried in the school library reading this, I'll revisit this review when I'm feeling more eloquent. (REVISIT) I was already expecting big things given that this was from clean break but from the sequencing, the character building and the unpacking of morality this blew me away.
