Bitsy I might be only nineteen, but I know what I want. It's Leka Moore. I don't care that he took me in when he was barely more than a kid himself. I don't care that he raised me. I don't care everyone thinks being with him is wrong. I know we belong together, and the only person I need to convince is him. Leka I found her in the corner of a dark alley. If I hadn't taken her with me, she would've died that night-or maybe worse. Before I knew it, she became the light in my dark life, the haven from the madness. I watched her grow up. I tried to teach her right from wrong. Now that she's an adult, I'm feeling things that no good man should ever feel. But then...I've never been a good man. I have a chance at redemption by saving her from the greatest danger of all-me.

Oh wow! This book, despite its heavy subject matter and tone, was so beautiful.
Leka is incredible. So loving, so protective, everything I look for in a book boyfriend (and a real one of such men exist). 
Bitsy is just so sweet. And strong. I loved that she didn’t take any shit. 
I know this is probably going to be marketed as a taboo book, or be slammed because it’s a taboo book, but I don’t believe it is. It’s a story of growth, of two people who are in horrible situations trying to make the best of it. I don’t think there’s anything taboo about Leka and Bitsy’s relationship, it grows and changes as they do.
I loved this book, I think you should read this book, but I get it may not be for everyone.

I lovvvvvvved this story. Leka is the man (underlined, italicized, bolded, whatever you prefer for good emphasis). Bitsy was a little immature, but that is to be expected, I guess, since Leka always hid the roughest parts of their life from her. All in all it was a great read, and the epilogue was perfect.
