The System
Ryan Gattis
Finished @Ryan_Gattis THE SYSTEM last night, and just ... damn. An emotive, gripping, meticulously researched and detailed tour of L.A.'s criminal justice web. It transported me to corners I've never been and perfectly replicated the ones I know well. Must Read. #amreading

Like a Sister
Kellye Garrett
Finished @kellyekell 's LIKE A SISTER today and the hype is justified. A mystery for the social media generation with writing that's bitingly funny. Honestly my favorite part was stopping and tripping on little barbs in the narration, like when you get caught by a line in a song.
