Summary

Rage. That's the feeling engulfing the car as Ellen's mother swerves over to the hard-shoulder and orders her daughter out onto the roadside. Ignoring the protests of her other children, she accelerates away, leaving Ellen standing on the gravel verge in her school pinafore and knee socks as the light fades.
What would you do as you watch your little sister getting smaller in the rear view window? How far would you be willing to go to help her? The Gallagher children are going to find out. This moment is the beginning of a summer that will change everything.

This won't be everyone's cup of tea. It's slow, in that classic literary coming of age tale way, but still fairly well written. I found the narration disconnected me from the story from time to time, as either she tried an accent and it wasn't right, or sometimes the voice just got too monotonous.

Meh. It was ok but I wouldn't rave about it.

It read a bit like Catcher in the Rye. Never liked that book, didn't really like this one.

Good writing but not my jam
