Join us as we dive into Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah—a book that had us hooked but also left us scratching our heads. While we found the story engaging, its complex themes and a head-scratching ending turned this read into a bit of a literary workout. We ignite a lively debate about the prison system that could rival any courtroom drama. Settle in as we unpack our thoughts, explore the tough topics, and maybe even come to a conclusion—or not!
