Read this a long time ago, I need to reread it to write a review. From what I remember is was a lot of moving parts with each character. It was a good book.
White oleander has been my favorite book for as long as I can remember.
When I first read the book over a decade ago I can remember it resonating with my own experience in the foster care system and I've held it close since. I read the book again and again over the years and it never gets old.
This book took me a while to read, not because it was a bad book but because there was so much extra going on in my life that I kept forgetting to read the book. I had seen the movie and was presently surprised by events in the book that were left out or were shortened in the movie. I would recommend this book as a read.
