Did not finish. I rarely do not finish a book. I usually make myself push through but this was due back at the library when I only had 1/3 read. And it just wasn't interesting me. It was slow and depressing seeing a cycle of poverty brought on by teenage pregnancy and stupid decisions when young. Plus abuse plus alcoholism. There was nothing uplifting. Maybe it would have gotten better but 1/3 in and I wasn't seeing it.
