Shane sounds amazing too!<br /><br />I've always been a bit iffy on ex-con books because I think a lot of them either romanticize or sensationalize what it's like to be incarcerated (side note: I volunteer at a library in a correctional facility) which makes me mad. It sounds like this one did a good job with it though! I'll have to check out Sophie Jordan's books too, since I've not read those ones either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345874849864173182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-47246825740610264392017-02-03T14:57:45.004-05:002017-02-03T14:57:45.004-05:00That's great you liked the story as a whole!
