 * spoiler alert ** This book broke my heart and I will say trigger warning for drug abuse, parent leaving, and Overdosing, maybe suicide. in this book we follow trace as he goes about his life after his big brother major accident ( this happens before the book even starts). Trace being 12 years old and trying to figure out a way to fix his family and bring everyone together and become the family they once was. Trace's story broke my heart simply because A child should never have to feel like they should fix the problems with in the family. Now I will go in to a spoiler here and that is trace finds his brother after he has Overdosed lucky trace found his brother in time but this broke my heart even more I almost could get myself to finish the book after this scene because even though this book is fiction this is somebodies real life in today's world and a child even at the preteen age should have to see that. really no one should and with that I'm going to wrap up this review because just thinking about it is s breaking my heart. So with that remember to be kind to yourself and read what you love
