Hole in My Life

Nicole Dykeman

Not the genre I normally shoot for, it was a school requirement to read a nonfiction, but I was surprisingly pleased by this. It wasn't at all boring, I read through it just like any other fiction book. There's a great message that no matter what sticky situations you get yourself into, it's possible to turn your life back around if you want to. I have major respect for Jack Gantos for doing that. I'd definately recommend this book to someone.
