This book is a good read. It really is a strong reality check that I truly recommend. It's interesting to read through the point of view of a teenager the same age as us. There are many things to learn from this book. (

Fifteen year old Jesse is struggling to navigate growing up in a violent neighborhood. A kid he grew up with, a boy he calls his “blood brother”, is taking a turn for the worse and starting to sell drugs. Jesse begins to write his autobiography as his blood brother, Rise, falls deeper into the pit of drug dealing and is eventually shot and killed. amily doesn’t have to be blood related to be family. Rise’s mother took care of Jesse since he was a baby and they’ve done a blood pact. In a sense, Jesse loses his brother before he even dies. Many kids have to face watching siblings get mixed up in the wrong crowds and get hurt. (
