A gritty short novel about families, high school friendship and tragedy. The story kept me on the edge of my seat.

This was a weird one. I only kept reading because it was so short. Ending was a bummer...that's all I'm going to say.

This book was weird and intense. But I liked it. It followed two teenage girls that both have a lot of baggage. Both were trying to work out their issues in various power plays with each other and others. The writing was great and the characters were compelling. The only thing was, the ending was very abrupt.

I was given this book as a personal recommendation from my writing professor, and I honestly have no idea why.

Not sure what to say about this book, it was depressing, the characters were all depressing, even the story was depressing.
It is based around 2 friends Perry & "Baby Girl" and their tiny little life stealing cars and joy riding.
Both Perry and Baby Girl start getting messages from "Jamie" and their friendship is put to the test.

I feel gross after reading this book, which I strangely love. I felt like I could see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste everything Lindsay Hunter described in this book. Moments in this book took my breath and didn't give it back for a page or two. I felt dizzy after finishing this, in the best of ways. Hunter brilliantly drags a girl (me) who never experienced anything like this into the crazy, gritty, dirty world of Perry and Baby Girl. I was gasping out loud and I'm pretty sure at one point I said "oh my god" out loud on the bus. Now excuse me while I try to scrub off the dirty I feel right now.

mehhhh. the level of dirty these characters are felt gratuitous to me at times, and really there's not much of a story here, and it ends with a pretty huge cliffhanger/ambiguous end. also the summary made it sound like this:
"When Perry and Baby Girl finally agree to meet Jamey face-to-face, they quickly realize he’s far from the shy high school boy they thought he was, and they’ll do whatever is necessary to protect themselves."
would be a major part of it, to me at least? but it's really just a blip on the radar and majorly anti-climactic. the story is mainly about the girls ditching school, stealing, one of their mothers drinking and inviting men in, blah blah blah.
