One pint-sized girl. Ten supersized crises. And it’s high noon.
They call her “Twigs,” because she’ll never hit five feet tall. Although she was born early, and a stiff breeze could knock her over, Twigs has a mighty spirit. She needs it, as life throws a whole bucket of rotten luck at her: Dad’s an absentee drunk; Mom’s obsessed with her new deaf boyfriend (and Twigs can’t tell what they’re saying to each other).
Little sister Marlee is trying to date her way through the entire high school; Twigs’ true love may be a long-distance loser after a single week away at college, and suddenly, older brother Matt is missing in Iraq. It all comes together when a couple of thugs in a drugstore aisle lash out, and Twigs must fight to save the life of the father who denied her.
My Thoughts
Twigs is a tiny 18 yo. young lady. She's not having a great week... Her boyfriend is heading off to a fancier college, leaving her behind to attend a community college, Mom has another new boyfriend, Dad is gone somewhere and brother is missing in Iraq...
I actually requested this on NetGalley mainly because of the cover and catchy title. I didn't expect this to be a young adult genre but I kinda enjoyed twig's adventure.
Twig's life was quite physical and emotional roller coaster, this is ideal read for teenagers who's going through some tough times. There were a lot of things going on and to be honest I had a hard time keeping up with her life. I didn't love or hate this book so it took me awhile to finish it.
Despite of everything, I can say that this is a well written book that teenagers would definitely enjoy Twig's adventures. :)
I received this book from F+W/Adams Media via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
