(Book Jacket) Eleven-year-old Blaze James and her twin sister, Aerial know two things beyond a doubt. They're two of the prettiest girls in Shreveport, Louisiana, and they'll always be there for each other. Then, one night, a gas explosion leaves their father dead and Aerial severely burned, changing their lives forever. While Aerial goes with their mother to Baton Rouge for treatment, Blaze stays behind with a neighbor. Free-spirited and unconventional, Felicity Hardaway opens Blaze's eyes to a whole new world, inspiring her to explore her own budding desires...and the answers she finds will bring passion, betrayal, and a love beyond expectations.
This book is nothing like I have ever read before. NO-THING! Ford has done such a tremendous job of creating this smart-mouthed little girl from Louisiana that it just pulled me in and I could not stop reading. I was rooting for Blaze. I was getting angry with Blaze. There were times I was even asking Blaze, "What the hell are you doing?"
The one thing that I loved about this book was how much her life changed from the beginning to the end. The book starts at eleven years old and ends at her being twenty some. The changes she goes through are so amazing that I could not believe it myself. There was even a nice little twist at the end that I had to make sure I had read it correctly.
I will be BRUTALLY honest to those that are reading my post. It is NOTHING like what you will ever read. There is sex. There are lesbians. There are smart-mouthed people who like to swear, smoke, and yell at each other. Having said that, you must read this book! Go out and buy it now. It will change everything that you think about love, life, and how we changed. I am so happy to have picked up this book.
There isn't a score high enough for this book. Just read it!
