Pip’s desperate to escape his life—he’s been skipping classes, drinking, getting high. Anything and everything to avoid his smug teachers, his sweet but needy little brother, his difficult home life. Now he’s been busted by Principal Giraldi and given an ultimatum: either he shows up for all his classes and sees a counselor after school, or he’s expelled. Pip’s freaked out; not because he might get kicked out of school, but by the thought that Giraldi might call his father. Because Pip will do anything to avoid his father.

"The switches between prose and poetry, the raw emotion and care interspersed between drunken/high declarations of hatred, and the parallels between every person in the story were just everything to me. I LOVED this book and could not put it down!"

"I think it’s a well-rounded and great snapshot into something that’s all too real. The Author does a great job conveying the story and punching the reader in the gut when it counts. I have not read anything else by this author, but this book is very good."
