I found this book to be a fast moving, adventurous and somewhat racy memoir. It was interesting to read about someone who grew up completely differently than I did. She faced many challenges in her teenage years but she persevered through them all which I found impressive.

I couldn't stop reading this memoir! Rossi presented her years being "reformed" from a rule-breaking punk rocker in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in colorful and vivid detail. She describes her experiences in this gritty Orthodox Jewish neighborhood that was at times violent after being placed there by parents who thought they were doing the right thing for their wayward Jewish daughter. Yet, she brings humor to her story despite these hardships. I was cheering for her the whole way through the book!
