Ball Don't Lie by Matt de la Peña

3.0

CONTENT WARNING: child abuse, sexual assault, mental health, suicide. This book covers a wealth of difficult topics that should really only be approached by a mature reader. Sticky's story is gritty and rough in every way. Unfortunately, a redeeming ending and the basketball games and references are enough to really add any joy or positivity to this book. YA should talk about real life, but this book is just SO dark.
