I love a lot of Laurie Halse Anderson's books. Especially her historical fiction. I really like on how she put the struggles of a girl living with a father who has been through so many hardships and how she deals with it. I must say I do like Finn. I think he pretty funny. But, I don't like the fact that boy changed her life. I really thought it was mostly going to be about Hayley and her father though. I would say that I was slightly disappointed by this book.
