Description
Anna remembers a time before boys, when she was little and everything made sense. When her mom was a constant presence in her life, just the two of them against the world. But now her mom is often absent, chasing new relationships and stepfamilies. Anna finds herself alone, until she discovers that she can make boys into a substitute for family. As she navigates this complex world, Anna learns that giving boys what they want can sometimes be the only way to get what she needs. However, this comes at a cost - other kids mock her, and girls call her names. Her new friend Toy seems to have found a way to cope with loneliness, but even she has secrets that Anna can't know. It isn't until Anna meets Sam, a boy who is more than just a convenient substitute for family, that she begins to understand the truth about love. For the first time, she feels the pain of losing something precious and the joy of having something to offer in return. This powerful story of breaking down and growing up is both real, shocking, and uplifting.
