Kept me engaged!
I bought this to read because it was one of the books on our school district's summer reading list. The student I was tutoring chose to read it and I decided to as well. I found it to be a very sad and compelling story but enjoyable. Some parents may dislike the content, but I hear things ike this on the news all of the time. Check out the summary and see if it is something that you might like also.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
