pritenpink2's review against another edition
It was for school and I skimmed it a bit. We are done reading it in class, so I’m done reading it too.

I know this wasn't well liked in the class, and I did listen to the audiobook as well but I really enjoyed it! This is the type of thing that's right up my alley. Something that's just raw and sort of unfiltered growing up in a harsh reality, if that makes sense. It was great! And eye opening.

I must eventually get my own copy of this book. I listened to Apple: Skin to the Core on audiobook and it's narrated by the author and a devastatingly beautiful listen. But I do want to see the layout of the poetry and the illustrations I've heard are interspersed throughout the story.
This story is so important and heart achingly beautiful. A must read.
