All Out of Pretty

How do you know who to trust? Can you even trust yourself, your own instincts, and choices? Andrea, or “Bones” as her mom calls her, thinks of herself as smart, but intelligence only gets you so far and she finds herself nowhere near as smart or as tough as she thought. “All Out of Pretty” is a gripping, thoughtful look at one girl’s journey to figuring out what really matters to her and how to take care of herself in a world where there are no responsible adults for her to rely on. Do you use your looks or your brains? Your stubbornness or flexibility? How do you survive a drug-addict mother and her dealer boyfriend? Andrea’s voice will pull you along from the first sentence of this emotional roller-coaster of a book.
