This book reads very fast. It's a quick moving story about topics that can be difficult to read about.

This is a very hard book to rate because I am on the fence about it. I liked the story, but I absolutlet hated every single character except for the 2 cats, Dinah & Sylvester. I know that is very strange, but every character in this book pissed me off with their crap excuses. The main character was dumber than a box of rocks, her best friend was in denial, her mother was a drunk who had taken up with a perv, her boss ignored the bad stuff going on, her boyfriend was a POS, and the one person I almost liked, Angelo, did not do enough to save Sam who was the main character. Sam did nothing to help herself. I personally thought she was an over indulged spoiled brat who wanted the easy life, but didn't think she had to work hard to get it. She had the resources to make something of herself and avoid the path she went down, but her motivation to do so was not there. Ughhhh....even talking about it makes me mad.

I won't give anything else away, but expect to either be quite angry or quite sad. The story is told in diary format like the book, Go Ask Alice. It's easy to read and with only 168 pages long you can probably breeze right on through it in a day. (less)
