anyone interested in reading hidden cultures within our "normal" society will enjoy reading this unique perspective.

Ree. I think you can't help but like her and root for her.

Honestly, nothing stands out.

Watch the movie. Or maybe not. I haven't seen it, and I enjoyed the book so much, I don't want it ruined by a bad film adaptation. If anyone has seen it (and read the book), let me know if I should view it!

Wow, a multitude of emotions, really. I read the book in less than 24 hours. I found it riveting.

it's a great read! It really is!

It may be a trigger for some, if you have a bad history with anyone involved with drugs.

Personally, I tend to have a bit of difficulty reading books set in the southern U.S., mostly due to dialect which slows me down. I breezed through this book, though, with no difficulty at all. There were a few unfamiliar words and phrases, but it was mostly a very enjoyable read.
