Welcome to Litsy!

On the first page when we meet our protagonist, Valerie, she‘s spending her 18th birthday at he with her mom, waiting to be picked by her top choice gang.

The gritty alternative San Francisco was very intriguing to me and creatively executed by the author. It didn‘t take much effort to see the world through Valerie‘s eyes, and that‘s all due to the masterful storytelling. I love a good balance of detail to plot, and this book was balanced well.

This book should have been left with the title The Red Bridge Wars. It made sense. It was tied into the book and setting. The cover looks cheap and flat. They should've incorporated a stat with a tattoo or something.

I liked the end of this but the whole thing was destroyed by the awful and unnecessary romances. Everything was rushed through and I wasn't given enough time to get attached to anyone.

For some reason it's taking months for my libraries to catalogue and send the hardcover of this so we're just doing eAudiobook. I need a GOOD book.
