I couldn't put this book down! it was gritty, down-to-Earth, and full of surprising moments of humor and beauty. I loved each narrative character for their entirely different voices and perspectives. This is a book for people who appreciate an honest, up-close look at the lives of two teenagers raised in poverty and neglect, who are determined to take care of themselves and make their own futures.
