I am not sure what I really expected from this book. But it wasn’t the happy go lucky coming of age I can tell you that much. A intersting look of two best friends who had some really horrible and traumatic things happen in their lives. And it isn’t how they over came them. But pretty much how they coped and adjusted. Walking away from this book I just kind of feel awkward at best.
