I purchased this book to read before my middle school daughter has to read it for her English class this year because I wanted to see if it was appropriate for her age group. While it is not explicit, there are some hidden things in between the lines that are creepy. The neighbor having prostitutes over, or pimping them out. The main character/author is sexually assaulted. Almost every man in the book is an abuser. I just question why the schools feel the need for kids to read such dark stuff now. It's all negative, dark and depressing. No wonder so many kids have issues now.
