I tried searching in the sub but it seems like no one has posted about this book yet? Would love to start a discussion here.
As the book inched closer and closer and 2020, I was wondering if COVID was going to be mentioned because it did have such an impact on prisons. When I thought Corby was getting out in February, I was so relieved he’d be home before things got bad. That ending shook me to my core. I should not have read before bed because I was too emotional to sleep afterwards.
The fact that I live in Connecticut I think made me feel even more connected to this book. I just kept thinking if I was Emily, what would I do in such a terrible situation? There’s no right answers. Would I have brought Maisie to the prison? Would I have filed for divorce? Would I ignore phone calls from the prison? Would I ever be able to find forgiveness?
This book definitely had me crying real tears and will be sitting with me for awhile.
