Mari lives with her grandmother who wants the best for her. She loves to play baseball but in 80's there weren't many opportunities for girls. They want to escape from his cage and lead a proper life. So they decide to rob the gang who is a drug dealer and move to Hollywood to start new lives. But their plan doesn't work and everything goes wrong.

Ahhhh....It was so little! It's only 98 pages long, I wish the writer could give some more time on this, because I couldn't connect myself with the story. Story was pretty predictable. Ending felt a bit rushed, there might be a sequel. But overall it was a fun read. And the illustrations were beautiful! I loved that 80's vibe, retro-neon, gave me Vice City vibe!

The book comes out this year, on the 9th of March. I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
