Courtney Coles’ writing style keeps your attention, is very entertaining, and adds to the drama of the book. The characters are well developed, and you feel like you know them. A gripping story line takes you through both sides of a horrible situation in an entertaining and fluid way. Really good read with a really good message.

so very remarkable and insightful.

Wow, this book really hits the epidemic of heroin growing in our own back yards in a way I could see how easily it can happen. High schools should have the students required to read this.
