My first reaction to a book marketed as YA and having
premarital sex, alcohol abuse and bad behavior was negative. That reaction was primarily due to the age of
the person that I had planned on giving
the book. Introspection is a wonderful
thing, after some thought I realized my preconceived notions colored my
reaction to the book.
Tess is a troubled teen in a restrictive household. This is a theme that should have resonated
clearly to someone with my background and eventually it did. Tess ends on a journey and the journey is one
of growth. Tess grows into a person
that she can live with and she finally over comes her self loathing. I
don’t see this as a spoiler as the journey is the story, not the result.
I enjoyed the diverse characters and the quigutl were
intriguing.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
