To say I enjoyed this book sounds all wrong. It's not a book you enjoy. The story is real and heartbreaking. The writing is good and riveting. I didn't want the book to end. I need to know what happens next. The cadence of the author's voice on the audiobook seems fast to begin with, but makes sense as the book unfolds. As a mother, my heart cried for the little girl in the story who had to be tougher than she would've been, grown up faster than she should have had to, and street-smart out of necessity. I just wanted to grab her, hold and hug her, take her home, and show her what good parenting, affection, and true love looks like. I wanted to give her a chance to be a kid.
