The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin
4.0
Lynette has not had a good life. Her mom has been a poor role model, leaving Lynette to care for her disabled brother. She also has to work several jobs, one of which is illegal, to make ends meet and to save some money. Her goal is to buy a house. Unfortunately for the working poor, this is difficult to achieve when house prices rise at such a quick rate.
After three years of saving, Lynette finally has almost enough money together for the down payment on the house she and her mother have been renting. But when her irresponsible mother makes a stupid financial decision and decides to back out of buying the house, Lynette tries to get as much money together as she can. Over the next few days, she tries to collect on all her outstanding loans to shady people.
You want to root for Lynette and see her rise above her circumstances, but at the same time you might want to slap her for her stupid decisions involving the criminal element.
I really enjoyed this one, and so few books have an accounting of finances. I liked that element.
