I wholeheartedly loved it. This book got me out of a three-month long reading slump and it was a great first book to kick off the New Year.

Moderate: Violence and Alcoholism

Minor: Child abuse and Racism

Gray and Sunny briefly mention the racist comments made towards them.

When Sunny goes to Gunner's house, you see briefly that he is afraid of his father. He flinches and hides whatever he is doing whenever his father comes around. He flinches when Gunner accidentally swears because it is hinted that he gets hit when he swears

Gary (Sunny's brother) starts heavily drinking and ends up ruining Gray's performance because he gets wasted and storms on stage. Then when they meet outside, Sunny shoves Gray hard into traffic, landing Gary in the hospital.
