San Francisco. The setting is what drew me to this novel. What I found as I read was something unexpected. Juvenile delinquents roaming the streets. Strip clubs and a stalker. MURDER. The storyline was choppy at times. Different supporting characters told their story and how they were connected to Romy Hall, separate from the narrative. Their stories helped clarify the storyline and muddied it at the same time. Being in prison with Hall was gritty, and at times, hopeless. A lot about this novel disturbed me. Nowhere did I get a “happily ever after” vibe - I suppose that’s to be expected when you’re on death row.
