I got this book from Kindle Unlimited after discovering the author last night during a twitter party. It was a short, so I figured I'd give it a shot and see how I liked her writing before diving into one of her novels.

As a child of divorced parents, I understood many of her struggles. The need to act out in order to get the attention that is so strongly craved. And that's what this is about. The repercussions that happen after things get beyond ones control.

Although, this story was fairly tame in comparison to actual experiences I've seen. It isn't one to be taken lightly. I think it was done well, and I would recommend. Especially for parents of divorced children, if only to show them that divorce doesn't just affect them.

Excellent book. When your parents divorce and your social life gets sticky, what's a teen to do? A story of the choices a young teen has to make in today's complicated world.
