Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-09 00:00:00 Ben Richards This is a story written in poetic form about a group of teenagers struggling with various things. Some have experienced abuse. Some have experienced the harsh realities of home life. Some have had to grow up too fast. But all of them are struggling in some way, shape, or form. Although their struggles are different, their common bond is this place known as Keesha's House. It's a place they can go to escape the bad and feel safe. It is the one thing that happens to bring them all together in their different times of need. I liked this book. It is written in poetic form, which makes for it to be an easier read. You don't really get to connect with the characters much, which is something I didn't particularly like because it could have added a lot more to the story. It just presents the situations how they really are, with very little personal emotions talked about. This story was easy to relate to certain experiences in my life where I needed a "Keesha's House", which I think is something we experience at one point or another.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-10 00:00:00 David Williams I read this book and almost cried when I got finished. I was very angry that it wasn't longer, so shame on you Helen Frost. Like really WHY write a good book if its not going to be long. I really really really liked this book and when I was finished I was like are you serious what the F word author. Ha ha now that I am done ranting lets talk about this book. As soon as I opened this short read I was geeking heavy. I like books with alot of drama and things like that. It really pisses me off though that Jason was being a complete douche bag. Like he was acting like a straight up child. You really shouldnt have sex if your not ready to accept the possibilities that comes with. Like step up and be a dad to your girl stephies baby. And she pissed me off to. Like quit acting so scared and stressed to tell your family your preggo. Go home already they might not be okay with it but they'll surely have to deal with it soon anyway. Carmen is just dumb to me she makes the dumbest descisions. How do you get caught driving home matter of fact why drive home you should've just let Dontay stay the night. I'm pretty sure your grandma wont mind. Dontay needs to lighten up. So what your foster family are kinda douche bags too, just give them the time to warm up to you. If they happen not to then screw them. Your okay just ignore them you already have a real family. Carmen you guys are tight so thats all you need. I completely respects Katie's Decisions she doesnt feel safe in a house with a potential rapist thats suppose to be her stepdad like thats her moms fault. she needs to open up her eyes and kick them guy to the curve. like i would never choose like a girlfriend over my child, thats weak as hell. You dont deserve to be a parent if you do. Now all I have to say about harris is, I got much respect for you bro. If your family dont come around F them. Be you if thats who you are then thats who you are. Dont ever second guess yourself because others view you badly even if it is your family.
