I first gave it 4 stars but then remembered how I read late into the night (or early morning) even though I had to get up early and teach 32 third graders! I actually took them on a field trip and read on the bus! I NEVER do that.  Makay is very well written. She has been through more terrible stuff in her young life than anyone should ever have to face, and has a screwed up life because of it. But she does everything she can to be a good parent to her younger brother and part of that is rising above her past. Lenny, a totally manipulative creep, took advantage of  Makay's desperation as a young girl (not in a physical way) and refuses to let her go. Add Harrison, Makay's love interest but also Lenny's victim, and the plot thickens. The author does a great job of making the reader care about Makay and her brother and the outcome of this twisting, turning, heart-pounding, stress-inducing romantic drama. (Clean: no foul language or sex.)
