This book is about how a mom(Jolly) who's seventeen and has two kids, is helped by thirteen-year-old LaVaughn, and she turns out to be one of the most important assets in Jolly's life. This book kind of tells you about the things that Jolly went through, but it's mostly talking about the life-changing events that went on in Jolly's household. This book was very serious, and I'm not the serious type, but I have to say, this book was great. It's very focused on the topic that the book is about. AWe all need help sometimes, but 17-year-old jolly requires a little more help than the rest of us. Up knee-deep in problems jolly is desperately looking for a babysitter so she can try to get her life back on track. 14-year-old livan is looking for money to keep and store for collage. She just happened to find her solution waiting for her a babysitting job. She meets the mess of the family and decided to help Jolly for the better of her two kids. I thought the book was good.

This poetry book was not my cup of tea.
Read this as part of my Teen Services class in grad school. Lovely.
Bit flabbergasted why a novella of approx. 30k words needs 66 chapters plus a prologue but oh well.It was an okay story, if a bit oddly structured. End is dissatisfying. The characters are realistic. The story is well thought out. Was just okay for me to read though.
