Back Cover Blurb:
And then we weren’t. Every morning I had to pick up the jigsaw puzzle of my life and rebuild it into something vaguely resembling a person. A hazy shadow of the happiness I was faking.
And then I didn’t. I didn’t become whole. No, there was no glue that could bind me back together. No remedy to fix any of us. We weren’t lost anymore, but we remembered losing our way. We weren’t freaks, but we remembered living on the fringe. We weren’t losers or loners, but we still remembered hiding from the world.
We were Auburn. I was Auburn. And this is my story.
-Ashley Nimzovitch, lead singer of the punk rock band Auburn

My Review:
This was a uniquely hard hitting and intensely intriguing novel. It was a powerful look at what many modern teens face today while also being an entertaining read.
