Shows the mindset of someone who has been raped and experienced different situations and lifestyles as you. Good book about a teenager going through normal problems i.e. fitting in with others. Shows that you should stick up for yourself. Helps someone realize how difficult it is to deal with an issue of that magnitude.

//Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight// dragged on and on and on & was very long the girl was just angry the whole time the mother is insane not a very happy book & only about their hardships same thing over and over
