There are no words that can truly describe how great this book is and the emotional journey it takes you on, but I will try. Alex's life in the ghetto at the start of the book, and for most of it even when he leaves the ghetto, is truly heartbreaking. However,  you can see his strength and how much he wants to escape his life and accomplish right away because he's not interested in being a *real* drug-dealer and he not interested in joining a gang, the things that are the obvious paths in his life. Still, you worry about him because he lives with his neglectful mother and her abusive boyfriend who enjoys abusing him. When Alex is take into foster and meets Seb, it is kismet. Truly, it is. Granted, everyone believes Seb is a *retard*, but Alex's interaction with Seb makes him see that everyone is wrong and the journey he and Seb take to find their HEA, while grounded in this world, is beyound it as well. This book is deep and, at times, painful to read, but is honest, captivating, engrossing and so worth reading. It is a book among books and I highly recommend it.
