Closer to Nowhere by Ellen Hopkins
5.0
This book was phenomenal.
Covers topics like the death of a parent, parent in jail, domestic violence, parental substance abuse, living with a foster kid/cousin, parents splitting, family judgment, PTSD, etc. all in a child-friendly way that's easy to understand and makes you think. This book was utterly heart-wrenching, I cried more than once. It had beautiful character development, believable family dynamics, real-world issues, all while told from the perspectives of two very different kids living under the same roof.
