If you read the prologue you won’t be able to resist reading the whole book. This isn’t an easy book to read. There’s a hard life portrayed and I can’t help thinking the author has had some personal experience with that, because the characters are so real and believable.
I won’t go into the plot because I don’t want to ruin it for the next reader. Suffice it to say that the writing is authentic, the voice is personal, and the story is probably something that too many people have had to deal with on some level or another. There’s no way you’ll come away from this book without feeling a little less lonely, a little less misunderstood, and a little less like the world is personally out to get you. Because if these characters can get through their troubles, there’s hope for all of us. This is a book to read, to ponder, and to absorb.
