I loved this little novella, whose word use was so fun and descriptive, and whose descriptions of life in a family of working poor felt so real and gritty. It felt like I was 14 again, watching the other kids and wondering who would survive, who would get pregnant too early, who would get beat up, and how the girl with the scuffed up brown saddle shoes could stand to show herself in public.
