It's been a little over 2 years since I've read this book so I'm definitely due for a re-read but I can say that I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. Ellen Hopkin's novels and verse-style is so gripping and poignant and this novel is definitely no different. Definitely a lot of heavy subject matter contained within this story but I find it to be an incredibly real and necessary book for young adults. Highly recommend!
