Winner of Top Fiction Award, In the Margins Committee, 2016.

I don’t plan on getting in any trouble.

Tamara had thought that when she got out of juvie, things would be easier. But before long, it seems like her life is spiraling into chaos.

If she can’t prove to her probation officer that she is innocent of the allegations against her, she’s going back to prison, and Tamara just can’t let that happen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very different from the books I normally read but I really enjoyed this. very much looking forward to reading more from this author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m fairly new to this author but I am fast becoming her greatest fan! I love her flair for placing you right in the room with the characters as you follow along with the story. This book is no exception.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was absolutely perfect in every single way. I love Tamara and Glock, like, genuinely scared me.

Readers will appreciate the realistic details about Tamara’s release, her issues dealing with a foster family, her emotional triggers, and the challenges facing someone trying to maintain the conditions of parole. For those teens who love books where all that can go wrong does go wrong (isn’t that almost all of them?), this is a winner.
