My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Many thanks to Jenn LaGarde for recommending this Purposeful Prose Summer Reading Exploring Inequity in the US Criminal Justice System. My heart continued to break as I read more and more about Luke and Toby, their friendship and yearning to break away from their miserable lives. Through Luke's letters to Toby from jail and interspersed with their past and present lives BEFORE, the reader is gripped with the harshness of their lives and their unwavering need to escape these lives. But it seems many things will keep presenting to Luke and Toby their senior year, testing their friendhsip and loyalty. I kind of did not like that 2 girls pit Toby and Luke against each other...yes there are many more things like family, abuse, violence, and bad choices that test their friendship but Annie and Lily pit the 2 best friends against each other resulting in chaos. A must read for teens giving an honest look at the juvenile justice system.
