Some book...I understand why you felt uncomfortable. Some books focus too much on all the possible messed up things a character can go through and struggles of that. To me, a Coming of Age is self discovery in the most simplest of interactions, not digging yourself out of an impossible (maybe improbable) hell. But that's just me. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the review Farah!Dazzling Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995885360211848837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-25271324224761859382013-04-05T02:27:41.456-04:002013-04-05T02:27:41.456-04:00I've seen this book around and wanted to read ...I've seen this book around and wanted to read it, but honestly, after your review, I'm not that much inclined to read it now. I really cannot, in any way, relate to familial problems in books and maybe I should skip this one.

I could also her relate to her need to fit in and escape and that the place she could do that was the club because I felt very similar and spent a ton of years at the club between like 18-23. The flashbacks to her mom were really brutal but Julian was adorable!

I can't stand it when characters are using drugs so easily.
