As a father who had to raise a couple of young daughters, I have run into a few teenage girls like Ruby and Scarlett, the name of the two teenage girls in this book, throughout my years. There are teenage girls like this in all parts of the world. Hormones flying around like wild fire for older men. They are mostly prevalent in neighborhoods where I grew up. Urban neighborhoods where young females grow up all the time without fathers and go looking for father figures throughout the neighborhoods clinging on to their girls friends fathers for more than just a father figure. I see it every day to this day how young girls find love in the least unsafe places and households. Now I can honestly and proudly say that while raising my young daughters back then, who are now grown, I never took advantage of their young vulnerable friends but I witnessed a lot of fathers who did. This is an interesting book that tells the tale of two female friends growing up together in troubled families. The fathers play a big role in both the young girls life’s putting a twist on how things turn out with them later in their adult life. It also reminds me of a movie that I have seen about issues like this called Crush. There a few more that comes to mind also. Again it’s an interesting book with an unexpected twist at the end. Enjoy.
