Review: No Apology Required
Rating: 4 out of 5

In this book, Roberta Peters turns the YA genre on its ear by infusing it with adult-themed situations and problems that defy its typical conventions. The author apologizes, right out of the starting gate, for any errors from her self-editing efforts so, honestly, I didn't expect much. I was, however, pleasantly surprised to find not only an admirable editing effort, but also a multi-themed story with memorable characters, authentic dialogue, and a very effective and clear writing style. I might even suggest that the author remove the apologetic disclaimer from the beginning of the book. It is not required.
