This is a gut-wrenching yet quite moving book about a problematic relationship between a rambunctious teen and her overwrought mother. The dialogue rings true throughout this book and you can't help but get caught up in the wave of evens as rapidly unfold.
The author, Dudman, has perfectly captured the tension-filled high-wire act that is raising a teen. Especially on your own. Augusta feels boxed in, angry, resentful, and she reacts in a terrifying way. With two daughters of my own, I found myself saying thank you out loud for the safety of my children.
This is a pretty short book but it's likely to stay in your head for a while. At times its emotional pitch is nearly too much, but Dudman wraps up her book in fine fashion, giving the emotionally exhausted reader a reward for their endeavors.
