⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~ 4 stars

(Thank you to NetGalley for the pre-release copy).

Told in 14 chapters, ‘Fighting the Florida Shuffle’ is a harrowing account of the exploitation of so many, sewn together with heart-breaking anecdotes. This book is pertinent in raising awareness for the heinous crimes and corruption of pharmaceutical companies and all of those complicit in the Florida shuffle model, both in Florida and worldwide.

Admittedly, this book felt slightly disjointed, with the focus shifting every chapter or so. Terminology wise, some of the extracts about the pharmaceutical company were hard to follow, but I put this down to the writers maybe not simplifying this enough.

Overall, this book is thought-provoking and a crucial read. It shifts the blame and stigma off of victims and onto the system of crime and exploitation.

To quote one of the final pages, “may Jenna’s murder be solved” and may everyone impacted by the industry finally regain some sense of justice.
