I think that the author portrays homelessness very realistically. Most people don’t want help and when they do it is because of a personal decision they have reached to get off of the streets.

I only wish the author had written emotions better and the overall flow was smoother. This book just felt very ragged with how the English was done. It felt hard to connect to the characters. Even though this book is written in first person, it felt like a disconnected third person.

Overall this was a great read for poverty awareness month.
