VBT# Incarcerated - Inger Iversen






Review: Incarcerated - Inger Iversen - September 2014

When I first saw this book , I read the blurb and was instantly interested in reading it as I am a big fan of anything to do with the justice system be it crime novels or prison stories, the second thing I love is Letter writing. One of my all-time favourite books is a story called Letters from the Inside by John Marsden which is about a prisoner writing letters to an outsider and the two eventually fall in love. Thinking about it , makes me want to re-read it LOL. Incarcerated was along the same story-lines, where we meet Katie who is seen to be like an Oreo due to her growing up in privilege and with a Swedish stepfather. Katie is also now a popular female Romance writer and Logan Whyte who is in prison serving time for armed robbery among other things. He also is semi-racist as was brought up to hate everything that black people represented including blacks in general. When a prison pen-pal program starts up, Katie decides to secretly sign herself up under a fake name as of course her stepfather is a prison guard there so she is ineligible for the programme under her real name. She is paired with Logan and soon the two start writing back and forth to each unaware what each other looks like , soon the letters turn to daily phone calls and they find themselves falling head over heels for each other. What will happen though when it comes to them sending each other photos of themselves and Logan discovers he has fallen in love with a black woman ? Can he get over his prejudice ? Will it be an easy ride for him especially when his old crowd - who hates blacks are waiting for him on the outside ? 
This was such an awesome book which I think everyone should read and will enjoy. It also has the theme that Love is Colourblind and that to really love someone you fall for what's on the inside rather than the outside.
