An "Opras book club" book about Harley a nineteen year old who takes on responsibility for his younger sisters after his mother's incarceration for his fathers murder.Harley is a virgin until meeting his older, married neighbor who is the mother of his little sisters best friend. He jugles two low paying jobs & his worries about his sisters and emerging questions about his father, mother, & sisters , in addition to his own emerging sexuality.A surprise, and disturbing and sad ending. For the most part, I enjoyed the book
