  Great Read!

  I tend to look for books that seem realistic and like they could actually happen. This book certainly fit the bill in that respect. I liked the pace at which the book flowed, although sometimes I felt that the characters were somewhat one dimensional, as I never really became attached to any of them...with the exception of Moses who really creeped me out! I was pleasantly surprised by the ending of the book though, and it made me wish there was just a bit more to read...maybe a part two!?! I would recommend it to anyone who craves a look into someone else's crazy existence.

  I was quite impressed with this book. It's set in New Orleans which can be hard to capture accurately, but Chris did an excellent job. The main character is Hailey, a young girl whose family seems to be falling apart before her eyes. She struggles with depression, and her belief in God because she keeps waiting for God to rescue her family. In the midst of legal troubles, and her attraction to an unsuitable older boy, she seems to really care for her family. Even if they don't seem to be very concerned for her welfare. I had a really hard time putting this book down! I did not want to stop reading until I found out what happened. I was really drawn to the gritty, descriptive nature of the writing, the author has a way of making you feel empathy for the characters. I love books that are more real, not everything in life is sunshine and roses, and I admire authors that write truthful books that pull no punches. The ending was surprising, but good! Definitely recommended.
