This is the squeal to Burned, which I ADORED, but I think this book fll a bit short for me. There were a lot of important issues addressed such as rape, homophobia, homicide and illegal immigration which I'm glad were brought up. I really enjoyed the dual perspective in this, but I feel like everything wrapped up a little too well. Everything seemed far too convenient. The love in the book bothered me, it seemed to come out of nowhere and everything was resolved only because these boys came into Pattyn and Jackie's life.

I usually devour Ellen Hopkin's books in a day, but it took me awhile to finish this one.
