I was listening to the audio version. I was just not in the right mind frame at that time to read an Ellen Hopkins book

I did like this a little less then burned. It was still really good and I liked that Jackie had a POV. This deals with a lot of heavy topics so look up trigger warnings. I do love how the girls grew to be so strong.
