My Book of Life by Angel

This is a novel written in verse that tells the story of a young girl, who, like any typical and vulnerable girl would, who fell in love with a deceptive man that traps her into an unbearable circumstance. Angel's new and intense way of life is filled with abuse, sex, and drugs; although this is no longer the life she wants to live, she has no where else to go and cannot think of a safe escape plan that would protect herself and the few she cares for. Angel is an unbelievably strong girl who risks her own well-being and conquers things most people can't, all for a little girl she knows she can save. The author does an amazing job of depicting this situation as it would be in real life. The ending does seem a little rushed, but the rising action was worth it; the anticipation of what would become of these girls alone will keep any reader on their toes and biting their nails. I would recommend this book to anyone, however they should take into consideration that the format is in verse.
