I always say I love Ellen's books, but I keep reading more that I love. They all just wanted LOVE! Is that so wrong!!!! doesn't mean they wanted to do these things. Just because these kids were pushed into these lives because they didn't know anything else, or were too old to work a real job, etc. They ended up with one of the best ending I think. One of the kids I really loved just moved from one rich person to another looking for love and praying they could exist. This book is about how they all come home or near enough and what they have to go through to get back to a somewhat normal life. And the last who is mistreated by family and ends up pimped out when she runs away. Then one more outs himself as being gay and kicked out by his father. Another, trusted her boyfriend since she was ignored by her family and ends up pimped out by him and addicted to drugs. One had a mother that pimped her out to her boyfriends so she runs away with her girlfriend and they have to get pimped out to survive. All of these kids had different things going on, one had gambling issues that led to drugs and eventually being shot. When I read the first book, Tricks, I was so appalled at the things happening to these children. *WILL NOT BE POSTED ON MY BLOG UNTIL BLOG/BOOK TOUR OCT.
