Hard to describe. Interesting, and a quick read, but MAN, the writing is terrible. The editor must have just skimmed through this because there were several times I had to re-read a sentence, not knowing what the author was trying to say. Mostly this was because of a lack of commas.
In addition, the book is all over the place. While all the stories are sad, and the amount of time they all spent in foster care is deplorable (as are the reasons they are all in foster care), jumping from one story to another provide no continuity. There are so many "characters" in this book, that the jumping around made it hard to keep track of who was who.
