Almost Lost: The True Story of an Anonymous Teenager's Life on the Streets by Beatrice Sparks, Phillip Morgenstern

slow-paced

1.0

Fake, boring, racist, god-bothering pseudo-psychological crap. The attempts to write teen dialogue are particularly excruciating. “Pos ‘tude?” Please, no.
Also, why is the therapist massaging a 15-year-old boy? It’s a good thing he’s not real, or it would be horribly inappropriate.
