Customer Reviews

She is a great writer

this book in particular is amazing its, setting was true to the time and city, a really wonderful book and in great condition. i give it five stars!

A cool book about a young girl and basic teenage stresses!

A cool book that gives you a valuable insight as to how a teenage mind works and has great characters like her sister Ruby and the cool Quentin!! It's so good I'm doing my RPR on it!

Amazing story and writing

I could not put this book down. The story is so grisly and yet told without any sentimentality or self-pity. The writing is excellent. I ended the book full of admiration for the writer who came off as brave and very, very smart. A real artist. A beautiful and sometimes shocking book.

A teengirl in the London Punkscene coping with all problems.

About a girl of my age who is actually doing alot of things which u would say she's too young for. She's got a sister who's an drugaddict and al- most dies of it. A younger brother which she must take care of a bit, but not always doing it. It's in the London streets in the Punktime, and very kewl to read!
