A short memoir by a man who was a homeless teen in LA. He has a lot of drive, determination, and dreams. His humor and confidence help him survive, but also make this a great read. He's also brutally honest and not afraid to look bad at times. A great read!

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.
