I wonder why Piper was able to be almost forgiving of Nora when they got locked up together in Chicago. I thought she would have kept to herself, but instead she is kind of enjoying Nora's company. I think it's weird

I'm distracted by all the new names she is adding to her story. She completely shifted from the inmates and now is talking about some of the guards and its really confusing. I don't like how she keeps jumping around.

I like that Piper helped Mrs.Jones with her school work. I thought it was really cool of her to help her pass her classes so that she could get her GED.

I wonder how hard it must have been for Larry and Piper to keep their relationship so strong when they were separated for Piper's sentence.

The character Pop reminds so much of the character Red from the show. The show did a great job emphasizing what a power house Pop is in the kitchen and in the prison itself. Everyone highly respects her in both the book and the tv show.

So far I don't like the book. I think the tv show is so good that I can't get into the book. Also I get confused because the characters don't have the same names. But I like how there are similarities between the two, and I'm just hoping that the book is going to get better.

"But the revelation was that my family and Larry still loved me despite my massive f***up; that my friends who knew my situation never turned away from me; and that I could still function in the world professionally and socially, despite having ostensibly ruined my life.

I picked this passage because I really liked the idea of strong relationships backing up someone who was in such a bad situation.

I chose this book because I am obsessed with the tv show.
