So I read this book for my work book club and I certainly enjoyed it, although it is written for a younger YA audience and therefore it doesn't go into some of the darker side as deeply as an adult book would. This is told in a diary format and we follow our main character who lives in a world which is run by cartel and certainly not the best place to grow up. At first when her dad gets a new job she thinks it's a good thing and that this could change their fate, but as time goes on and more time passes with her dad having to take longer trips and seeming to be in trouble, she realises more of the bleakness around her. She's about 12 when she's writing so she's very naive and young and despiute that she does learn more with time. She lives a little bit of denial too, and I think that this made her a frustrating character at times, but I can understand how kids only want to see and think the best of their family until the obvious is staring at them. 3*s overall
