Dear Life, You Suck by Scott Blagden (306 Pages)

This is one of the funniest, entertaining and most sarcastic books I've ever read. A smart-mouthed, know-it-all teenage boy named Cricket is living in a Catholic boy's home due to his terrible behavior. He lives his life selling drugs, sneaking out, fighting, and constantly getting in trouble because he hates his life. He thinks his life sucks more than anything.

A girl named Wynona unexpectedly walks into his life and he starts to feel like life is a little more worth the ride. Wynona helps to show him that problems don't have to be solved with violence. When he decides to be more open-minded and open his heart, she is able to help him slowly change his life and walk a new path. 

This is definitely a problem novel for young teens trying to get through the struggles of being a teenager. I give this book a 4 star rating overall. It was a very funny read with a lot of emotional points that give hope for teens to see the positives in life. Cricket learns that with help, encouragement and hope, life isn't as bad as it seems.
