I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have mixed feelings for this book. First off, I was not a fan of all the swearing. That always throws me off a book. I think this book felt like two books though. The first half was Darren becoming Buck and he was likable for most of that part and I rooted for him in his hard work to be successful despite all the racism and hard times. Once he started drinking and doing drug though, it was harder. Especially when he pushed away all the people around him from his mother to Mr. Rawlings to Soroya. That was all in the first half.
The second part seemed like a totally different guy. Darren had thrown off the old self and become Buck through and through. It was great that he decided to help others with the Happy Campers but I wish he could have done more to help all the ones that he had pushed away when he became Buck. Not quite a happy ending either.
This is not the kind of book that I usually read. It was not bad but I was not a fan.
