I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author for an honest review.She warned me it was dark but I have no fear and was sucked in pretty quickly. This has a strong story with beautifully spunky characters. The whole cast has witty, brassy and sassy personalities that I took to them right away. If you don't mind blunt conversations with a little sexual side banter, then this is the book you want to pick up. I won't deny the strong subject matter. Emerald is a tough girl and there's lots of talk about sex, drugs and alcohol. She was robbed of a normal childhood and didn't really mature until a few major events shake her world. Forced to live with grandparents and taking an unconventional job leads her to find "sponsors" to help along the way. Little does she realize these "sponsors" are pivotal to her success in life and actually her friends. Lastly, it would be wrong of me not to much the extremely sexy Carter Black. He's very mysterious not telling Emerald what he does for a living but he's there for her with his deep sexy voice and Prince Charming ways.An example of the sassiness:He blinks. "E-books are like two and three dollars." "And? That s*** adds up!" I laugh. "Do you have an e-reader?"Such simple conversation with that sarcastic attitude makes it normal, like I'm talking to my best friend through a book. Lovely work, MC. Looking forward to more
