Tyrell by Coe Booth

4.0

I finished this book feeling sad. But wishing there was a sequel. 15 year old Tyrell is living in a dirty, unsafe, roach infested motel (soon to maybe be placed in a shelter-if his mothers welfare fraud case doesn't get in the way) with his mother and younger brother. His father in incarcerated for the 3rd time. His mother is immature and totally dependent on a man. She's not on drugs. But might as well be, the way she cares for his brother. I am surprised by how much I liked this book. I passed by it countless times.
