Closer to Nowhere by Ellen Hopkins

5.0

Traumatic upbringing with no safe space - What that would do to a child's trust and how well the child adapts to a better place is the crux of the story. The support system for this child is a flawed family with good intentions. When everything has been so bad for you and when things go good suddenly, you would wait for it to turn bad again and blow up your face. The writing is engrossing and engaging. You keep reading till you finish and realize you live in a different world. Highly recommend
