5.0
This book still holds up despite it's 1997 pub date. Haunting in more ways than one we experience the significant lows of Gerald and Angel's lives as they navigate trying to survive living in Cincinati with an abusive stepfather and predominantly absent mother. There were small moments of light but this is mostly a sad novel with a short page length. This feels a bit episodic like a tv show but this helped kept me invested even though the circumstances were not great for our characters.
