![]() Im also rating this book unrated bc it was amazing and its not the books fault i dnf it (well kinda) but its mostly me bc i have rage issues and just couldnt stand it. i already spoiled myself and no longer care to finish it I would actually have forced myself to finish this, but i spoiled myself in a rage moment. (it's just annoying to me and im just getting heated bc of it) the characters fighting about all these misunderstanding is pissing me off. this is a thriller about a gay boy struggling to keep his identity bc he's afraid for some reason for coming out.Įrrrrr.thats pretty much it (for me anyways) This made me so mad that i flipped to the last 5 pages and read everything and spoiled myself r.i.p i hate myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() its freaking triggering me and making me want to punch someone. seriously, it was really good, but like, i really dont have the patience for this story and the fucking drama and yelling thats going on. ![]() ![]() Students will enjoy the gritty setting, which gets plenty of loving description by Myers.

She even tells Damien at one point, “I am only what you see, this stick/Of a woman trying to make enough magic/To negotiate the shadows of these streets.My life is not packaged” (109). Damien is thoughtful and kind, while Junice refuses to let her situation define her.

Sometimes we get glimpses into Damien’s thoughts, other times Junice’s, the mothers’, and even the social worker assigned to Junice’s case. How the two lovers meet, interact, and ultimately decide their fate unfolds in short poems written from multiple points of view. Damien’s mother and father are proud of his accomplishments, including acceptance to Brown, but they want no part of Junice or her troubles. Junice’s mother has just been sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for possession and distribution of drugs, and she has no one to look after her and her nine-year-old sister, Melissa.
