An extraordinary novel from an author still in her teens. It does an excellent job of demonstrating how the powerless in society are pushed into making what the rest of us would consider "bad" decisions, which ultimately keep them powerless. A very moving novel.
Graphic: Police brutality
Moderate: Sexual assault, Self harm, Sexual content, Alcoholism, Classism, Sexual violence, and Suicide attempt
