"The Impossible Knife of Memory" by Laurie Halse Anderson (391 pages)

For the most recent 5 years of Hayley’s life, her and her father Andy had moved around a lot, struggling to stay in one town for even a little amount of time without leaving while her fathers on the road a lot trying to keep a truck driving job. After her father left the war in Iraq, the past 5 years he’s struggled fighting the demons that taunt him so consistently, being the reason they can never settle in one town. Andy decided moving back to his hometown where he grew up so Hayley could try and have a normal life and attend school daily.
Hayley goes to school and meets an attractive guy named Finn who likes her but she’s scared to let him in because of her father and home life. Andy turns to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pain of dealing with his demons and horrible memories. How does Hayley enjoy her life and be taken care of when she’s too busy taking care of her irresponsible father? Will Andy turn to someone for help with his PTSD or will he let the drugs take him over?

This book left me breathless, and sad that it came to an end. READ THIS BOOK. IT’S SO GOOD.
