Going back to classes in her rich private school after being released from
juvie is a difficult situation for Willa to be in. Add in a ransacked house and
a missing mother to the stares in school and homework is the last thing on her
mind. In a whirlwind of decisions, Willa and her friend steal a car and hit the
road to find Willa’s mother, but it comes with uncovering truths better left
untouched.
At the end of this book there is an obvious continuing to a sequel,
but I do not feel compelled to go read it. While following Willa on the run is
an exciting idea, it seemed to me that she was just doing the same thing over
and over again for the entire middle chunk of the book. I could have easily
read the beginning and the end, or simply stopped reading fifty pages in, with
the same amount of satisfaction that I got reading the whole thing.
HS – OPTIONAL.
