I like the cover art for this book. It was an OK, fast read about misguided teenage Sara.It's a little chaotic but overall tells the story of a young girl who drops out of school and runs away from home. It ends with her being accused of attempted murder.

I am usually a fan of YA, and I also tend to like books that focus on characters on a downward spiral of drugs, drinking, mental health, etc. I did not enjoy this book. I never felt like I got to know the main character, and therefore never really understood some of her choices. Some of the other characters were stereotypes, although in some of the situations it could work since Sara knows some of these people for a short period of time. It was slow, and tawdry in a surprisingly boring manner. A student in my school requested that we get this book. While I have no problem with putting a book with a risque subject matter in the library if it is well written and realistic, this one will be moving on to the used book store.
