i really enjoyed this book as far as the plot and characters. while jo got a little too obsessive about cosima for my taste, i still found her a very raw and real character, a young girl growing up on the road with nothing but her father and no female influence. it's easy to see how she can make so many bad choices in her life, especially after the only stability in her life, her father, disappears mysteriously. my biggest problem with this book is that i'm not sure it should be listed as a young adult novel. there is plenty of profanity and sex and too much mature content. it is, however, a powerful coming-of-age story and very much worth the read.
