Both main characters (mother Pearl and daughter Joy) grabbed my attention. Joy was compelling because I couldn't understand how she could be so foolish, and then I remembered what I was like at 19 and 20 years old. I could understand Pearl's perspective as a mother trying desperately to keep her daughter from making more of what she perceived as terrible mistakes.
Some parts were quite distressing to read, but I could not stop reading.
