Who would like this book? If you like romance mixed with trauma, this is a great book. I think girls would like this book more than boys.
Why? Ruby’s mom abandons her, and she lives on her own for two months until she gets discovered and has to live with her sister. Throughout the book she tries to figure herself out, while trying to be a normal teenager. She has to get used to the transition from her mom’s broken down house to her sister’s expensive luxury home. On her emotional journey, she also meets a few new friends like Nate, and Olivia. In the end, Ruby finally comes to term with her situation.
