What a wonderful book. The characters are so real and dealing with real life situations that it draws you completely into the story. Although I do not condone drug usage, the take the author does is captivating and realistic. Sadly this is the life of way too many children out there in the world that they live with and through daily. Emily did a wonderful job breathing life into each character to the point that some of them you down right loath, but all the way through you feel the pain of these characters.The story is told through the eyes if Evil, Jim, and Dopey, a few weeks before the start of summer. Evil's home life is horrendous and she deals with the violence, abuse  and hellish life by turning to drugs and alcohol as her coping mechanisms. Despite Jim's best efforts to be the protector,  he follows in his families foot steps of violence keeping the cycle going.There is hope though for this family, and the epilogue does a nice job of summing things up and giving up that glance into Evils' hope.Disclaimer: I received a free e-copy of this book from Goddess Fish Promotions in exchange for my honest review and opinion.
