The Inmate by Freida McFadden

⭐⭐⭐⭐✩

The Inmate by Freida McFadden - 386 pages

There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison:

1) Treat all prisoners with respect.

2) Never reveal any personal information.

3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.

And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows.

And he will never forget.

I was really looking forward to this book and it didn't disappoint.  I found that Brooke was just a bit naive about some things which was a little annoying.  I liked that I kept going back and forth of who to believe did the crime.   I just didn't know for sure until the end whether to believe that Shane was innocent or not, but the ending did surprise me.  The reason for the crime was a bit silly but that's just my opinion.
