This was an interesting book. It’s fairly tense and if you’re looking for a HEA, you’re not likely to find much of it here. It’s based on the actual teen boot camps that exist within the United States and really shines a light on how little rights teens have. It raises the ethical question of whethere or not the kids belong there and whether or not the parents are always right in all situations.
