WOW. The summary of this book definitely tries to gear you up for what you're about to read, but it's nearly impossible to gear yourself up enough. 
 The main premise of the book is that Devon is found to have had a baby and thrown it in the trash behind her home. The beginning was described in a big haze - you aren't sure exactly what has gone on, but you get the basic idea (what I have described above). 
 This book really reminded me of a shorter Jodi Picoult novel. It was mostly based on Devon's court case. And when I say mostly, I mean almost entirely - there are a few portions of the book which deal with Devon's past (flashback style), and a few that deal with her current status (not relating to her court case). 
 Efaw does a good job of explaining the court system (by way of the lawyer explaining things to Devon, so it doesn't seem out of place). What I didn't like was how non responsive Devon was to different individuals that were in her life. I had to keep forcing myself to remember her situation and her previous life experiences so that I wouldn't get too mad that she wasn't talking or wasn't paying attention to what was going on. Right when it was starting to get really old, Devon's attitude changed a little, which made it easier to keep going. 
 I finished the book in about a day because I couldn't handle how sad several of the topics were. If you're a Jodi Picoult fan and are looking for a young adult version, I would give this book a try - if you tend to steer clear of sad topics and court case type books, this one's not for you.
