Hello All, Is this quote actually in the book: "I JUST GAVE A THIRTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD EX-CON A BLOW JOB. DO I GET PAID EXTRA?" I'm a HS librarian, and we have many edgy YA and adult titles in our library. However, I want to make sure that if we purchase this book (which is listed as grade 8 and up by SLJ), it has enough literary merit for me to defend the purchase.

paris That quote is in the book (as sarcasm) and that's about as crude as the story gets. It does contain mature topics but grade 8 and up seems about right…moreThat quote is in the book (as sarcasm) and that's about as crude as the story gets.

Is this good for a 13 year old? I don't know if it would be okay based on the beginning of the last sentence of the blurb.

Allison No, I would not recommend this book for a 13 year old. I loved it, but wait until at least 16 years old.
