I cannot
decide if this should be a YA or adult book. My feeling isn’t so much that a
teen couldn’t handle the material (although it’s probably too rough for young
teens), but I don’t know if the story would hold their interest. Libraries seem
to find it a difficult task as well – some have in YA others in Adult – probably
depending on how conservative the library is. It’s told in the voice of Luli, a
13 year old girl, as she leaves home and travels to Las Vegas. She meets a lot
of unique strangers along the way. I was
really into this book at the beginning and couldn’t put it down but then it
fell flat. There was never any climax and the excitement just disappeared.
