This was a heartbreaking look at how homeless teenagers live when they think they have no other choice than living on the streets. Maybe lives on the streets of New York City with a "family" of other teens. Some as young as 12 who sell themselves to eat, buy drugs, and have something that resembles a bit of normalcy. Even the street kids want to hang out in clubs and party and they find ways to do that. Maybe loses all of her "family" mostly to death but there is one of her friends who finds her way back to someone to who loves her. Maybe through the loses and hope of a happy future for her friend thinks that there is a chance for her.

Morbidly depressing. Not an easy read, but a good one.

This is a very quick read. It feels very real. I have never lived on the streets, and I sure as shit hope I never do, but I kinda feel like I have now. Maybe is a character that lets you in, but she is simply telling it like it is. She doesn't complain about her life, its just her life. You watch as her friends disappear and die around her and wonder who is next. Its heartbreaking how easy it is for kids to get abused, left on their own and forgotten, with no one to care about them. Its a shame that anyone can become parents, because some really, really shouldn't. This was a gritty, sad, thought provoking hour or so that I spent with this book and these characters, and I'm glad I did.
