My Thoughts: I started reading this one and had it finished within a few days. We meet Cassie who is just trying to find her place in the world. She was always the goody good girl and never did anything wrong. That all changes though when she meets a few new friends. She starts doing drugs and having sex and just overall not caring about anything or maybe she cares too much and just lets it all go. I especially liked her friends sister which ends up surprising me what Cassie goes through with her. This book was a very raw look into a teenagers life and what it can be like. Cassie reminded me a lot of a friend I had in high school and how things could go one way for a teen or the other. Things like this really do happen though and I feel sorry for the teens who have to be confused like this and have to worry about where their next meal will come from. A devastating heart-wrenching novel of friendship and what a person will do to be liked.

Overall: Liked this one! Amy Reed knows how to tell a realistic story of what its like to be a teen in today's world and what is possible to happen to girls everyday.
