Autumn is an annoying, in your face swearing drug dealer in the beginning of this novel. She is difficult to empathize with as she seems to make all the wrong choices and treat other characters horribly. By the end of this book, she is truly the victim and we are all fighting for her to conquer all. The fun mix of characters that were humorous and entertaining, but also dealt with many current teen issues. Strong connection to place--the author used the feel of the small city and her emotional bond with this setting to emphasize the plot and underlying themes. Important underlying message was consistent throughout the book, but the suspenseful plot and alternating narrative along with the mix of characters helped make this an entertaining, addictive read...
