Given this book's first chapter, I was immediately intrigued and anticipated a unique reading experience. While the rest of the book didn't "live up" to the first chapter, it was an interesting journey into the mind of a character who makes a long series of unhealthy choices. I couldn't support Queenie's actions but she gave me insight into people who make similar real-life decisions.

The audiobook is a great way to read this title; Shvorne Marks is masterful in her use of multiple accents to add authenticity and clarity to the many characters.
