Wow, such a raw, intense read. It's tough to read what Jayson is going through but tough to put the book down, too. A compelling voice speaking to a harsh reality. ( )

Loved everything about this book. I liked the way the author kept it "hood" all the way through making it very believable, almost like a memoir. My heart went out to Jayson and all he went through and I kept finding myself wanting too reach into the book and wrap him up in a bear hug. well written and recommend to all ages. ( )
