Some books keep you up all night, grab you by the throat, and don’t let go until the last page. This book is one. This heart-pounding, fast-paced page-turner holds nothing back and inserts readers face-first into the heart-wrenching reality of parental abuse and neglect.

I love how this dark coming-of-age tale is woven with threads of teenage angst and dysfunctional relationships. My heart broke for the teenager thrust into an impossible situation who must make life-changing decisions based on nothing more than her instincts.

It should be required reading for every high school student as a lesson on what it…

From Susie's list on The best books featuring ordinary teens doing extraordinary things.

It’s a harsh world for Tracie. She reacts and behaves just like any teenager who thinks they know everything while the rest of the adult world around her is stupid. Then the horrible truth dawns. It is almost too late to discover she doesn’t know everything. Stakes are high. I’m glad she ran, and the ending. Well, no spoilers. Great story. Highly recommended.
