This is a great book about May, who just lost her mother to cancer and is trying to figure out how to save her family. May has always lived in Las Vegas with her mother, younger brother, and younger sister. She has decided she will do whatever she has to do to ensure CPS doesn't take her brother and sister away from her. This will be no easy task as all of their utilities are late, there are mounds of medical bills, and they are about to loose their home. Her friends give her ideas of how to come up with the money, some serious, others more like jokes. No one would be prepared for the option May chooses.
May is a strong, determined young adult. Even before the loss of her mom their lives were far from easy. May's mother did a great job of raising her children to take care of themselves and each other. Most people wouldn't approve of what she does to save her family, but she does what she feels is the only option. Nothing is more important to May than her family and she will do anything to keep them together. Such a great story about self sacrifice, love, and friendship. I know I've done some things in my life that I'm not entirely proud of for my family. Family is the most important thing there, and this book does a great job of showing that. While May is 19 in this book, I would recommend it for adults only.
