I would give this book 10 stars if I could. First, the disclaimer: I don't normally read YA but Pearl is a cohort of mine on Indies Unlimited, so when her book was free for a short promo, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The book is excellent. The characters are very real, very believable and the story is compelling. I was particularly impressed with Pearl's ability to portray the typical teen angst, that need to act out without quite knowing why, the rebellious, emotional floundering that is all a part of growing up until they (we) figure out how to confront issues directly and honestly. The good news for teens is that Pearl never gets preachy about it; she stays on the "cool" side of it all and has created a worthy story that takes you for a ride, keeps you guessing, and delivers on all levels. I would recommend this to any and all teens, and their parents. It is, simply, a triumph.
