Helpful Score: 2

While the author is skilled, the material is dark, dreary, sad, and depressing. Essentially, a young girl grows up in the south, moves to the north and becomes a druggie and an alcoholic going from one abusive/violent relationship to another. From losing her virginity as a teenager to someone she met twice to having her head smashed against a headboard during "intimacy" with her boyfriend to being coerced into a threesome to cheating and being cheated on - she has a miserable life. To top it all off, dad commits suicide and mom becomes a lesbian. It is hard to imagine people choose to live like this...and not uplifting at all. It just goes to show - you really cannot judge a book by its cover. The cover is beautiful, the inside is disgusting.
