The book takes the reader through a short span of a teenage girl's life in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York. It is told in the first person, with honest insight five years after the story actually occurs. The reader is quickly swept into the world of this young girl, though it very much deals with topics of an adult nature, as this girl is mature beyond her years. I found myself thinking about my high school career, wishing I had the strength of fortitude exhibited by this girl, though being thankful for the material comforts of my life. This was one of those books that I looked forward to reading every night before sleeping, and stayed up late to finish the last three chapters in one night. What a great story!
