I picked up Cherry at a friend's of the library book sale because every random page I opened had something shocking or obscene. This book has a brick on the gas pedal, a knee on the steering wheel, and uses both hands to shoot up heroin while driving. This is a hard, dark, fast book—all drugs and violence and truama. White knuckle the cover and huff some duster. You'll make it through.

This book just felt unnecessary. Like, the whole way through, I was just thinking "that could have been cut". It was just BORING. And the

bank robbing

only happened right at the end. Good idea, not very well executed. So poorly excuted, in fact, that it's just a plain bad book in general.
