Inside or Out is a part prison drama set in women's prison HMP Kingston and the City of Portsmouth, England
sauce for the goose
Jessica Taylor returns home just in time for Christmas, following a scrape with the Indian Police Service and the scrutiny of British Special Branch. She has no secrets from her husband and, one day when the time is right, she will tell him about her Indian dalliances. She wonders when, or if, the time will ever be right. First, she needs to fix her marriage to the man she loves more than life itself. She returns home to find a pair of women’s shoes, a silk scarf, and then a half-naked young woman in her house. She makes one reckless mistake too many.
This book is another adventure of the MC; Jessica. This time, Jessica finds herself in unfortunate events and ends up in prison.
The story had me gripped from the start, with great subject matter that is relevant today.
Being a girl from Pompey, I loved all the references to local areas. Kingston prison is local to where I used to live, so I know the prison well.
I enjoyed the fact that the story was rich with morally grey, flawed characters. This book demonstrated how one bad decision/mistake can be life changing.
A quick and interesting read that is ideal for readers like me who can find bigger books overwhelming.
I highly recommend 👌, and kudos to the author for exploring topics that can be hard to touch on.
