This book really pulls at your heart
This book genre isnt normally my go to but an amazing person recommended it
This pulls at my heart so much. I felt so much for liz which is the point of the book but you see how you cant resume anything from the prisoners she works with to the parents who you automatically assume the worsy about
The author makes you see all sides of many different situations which are all so realistic too.
100% a five star read

Wow….could not put this down. A true insight, demonstrating compassion and drive, not to mention the love and determination around circumstances which are not always led by us yet challenge our deepest and biggest fears. Fabulous book.

Such a different and gripping story. I’ve just finished it and I’m so sad to leave the characters behind. The last few books I’ve read that had this impact on me were turned into films - maybe this one will be as well!
