I really enjoyed this book and absolutely fell in love with Marcellus and Tova.

However like many others, Cameron drove me crazy! BUT I think he had a point in the story and his point of view is one that's worth telling that many people don't consider or come in contact with in our daily lives. Cameron in many ways is lucky for the life he gets - he isn't thrown into the foster system but instead placed with an aunt that sacrifices and takes care of him as a member of his family. Even his mother has a story for why she (most likely) abused drugs and what may have led her to them. In reality, our childhood years are our formative years and really define who we are, and even though Cameron gets a lot of care from his aunt, he was still neglected and abandoned by his mother, and that can wreck havoc in someone's development and mental health years and years later, as we see with Cameron.

Really heart warming book in the end and I really felt connected to all of the characters.
