Atlanta Burns by Chuck Wendig

4.0

"Why can't I be a normal girl who doesn't know what spent gunpowder smells like? Why can't I just...dick around on Facebook and chase after boys and...I dunno, just quit stirring up the shit?"

That's who Atlanta Burns is. She shoots the nads off her mother's boyfriend when he started messing around with her, so she spends some time away. When she returns Atlanta is a take no bullshit kind of girl.


In the first story of the book Atlanta is helping out a gay friend who is being tortured by a bunch of skin head ass-holes. She stirs up a hornets nest of pure redneck assholes.


Then in the second story of the book she deals with some of these same assholes and add in a dog fighting ring. (This part has some animal abuse for those of you that can't handle that kind of thing)..don't worry though. Atlanta has no fears when she tackles these people. She has no filter when it comes to her being pissed off. No stopping sense. Umm...I know someone sorta like that.



One question that kept going through my mind was wondering how old this girl was..and why no adult except for a drug dealer offers to help with any of this bull.
I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley
