...I talked about Cherry Money Baby, which is somewhat bananas and quite thoughtful and, at points, really, really funny. But the best thing about it, hands down, was the heroine:

She’s 17 years old and a senior in high school. She lives in a tiny trailer with her father and her perpetually stoned younger brother in a small factory town in Massachusetts. She works at the Burrito Barn and has been dating her next-door neighbor, a boy she’s known since preschool, for years.

You totally know what’s coming next, right?

WRONG.
