- This is a memoir so it sometimes feels like Piper is the only character. What do you want to know about the other women in jail with Piper?
- Were you surprised Piper had such a relatively easy time in prison? Do you think all prison experiences are similar? How would the story be different if Piper were a man in a men's prison?
- What parts of Piper's story do you wish she would talk more about? Is there anything you wish she'd have left out? Why?
- Kerman has been criticized for her "white privilege." Do you think this is an appropriate criticism?
- Would this book have been published if it had been written by, say, Pop or Jae or Little Janet?
- Have you seen the Netflix show? (If not, get on it—we'll wait. No, we'll watch it again with you. Save us a spot on the couch.) What differences do you notice between the book and the show? Are there any details from the book that you're surprised they changed?
