MY THOUGHTS: I really liked reading this book. But it ended totally different than what I was expecting. Actually the ending was a shocker. But I can't tell about that, it would ruin the surprise. Harley is the typical teenager, except he's not in a typical setting. Instead of girls, hanging out and thinking about college, Harley is working 2 jobs and taking care of his 3 sisters. His one big hang up is he's still a virgin at 19. He's made several attempts to loose his virginity. But something always goes wrong. Harley is what some people would call a dork. But then Harley meets the lady down the street from him and sparks start flying, well for Harley anyway. Through all this Harley finds out some devastating secrets about what really happened the night his mother shot his dad. Harley doesn't know how to process these and goes off the deep end. Does Harley loose his virginity? What secrets does Harley find out? You'll have to read the book to find out.
