This dark and sad debut adult novel was difficult to read, and I won't be adding it to my high school collection. Luli has a horrible life with two alcoholic, poor parents. She runs away to find a better life and finds out that being a hick isn't so bad. There's worse things out there--speed addicts, skanky whores, rapists, psychos, thieves, drug dealers, child molesters, and everything else under the sun.
While I won't be recommending this to anyone, I 'll keep my eye out for the second book by this author. She has promise. Especially once she learns that shocking the reader doesn't improve the work.
