A high review of the novel:

“Once again, Shay shines in this starkly realistic story of gang members and people involved in prevention and intervention programs. Shay pulls no punches when describing brutal events, and secondary characters . . . are especially well developed. This powerful story will stay with readers long after they finish the book.”
