This is such a powerful book in verse. Allison needs Marla just like Marla needs Allison--together, they're able to work toward a place of happiness. When Allison runs away from her abusive father, she finds Marla's house. There, she's able to become Toffee and forget about her past for a while.

The overall structure works really well for this book. There are a few times where it felt like it lost its voice, but it found it again. A really compelling story overall.
