review 1: I'm going to try and send this one through without a rating as I only read two chapters. I couldn't finish. I'm one of those people who feels life is too short to keep reading a book you are not enjoying. The story would probably be interesting in another format, perhaps the movie that was supposed to be made (I never looked it up, did it get made?). Anyway, the writing killed it for me. I tried to push through since my copy is an old uncorrected ARC from my days in retail. But I felt like I was reading a Lifetime movie. So, if you like Lifetime movies you might enjoy this book. I don't like that style, and I didn't feel invested in the story.
review 2: in August, 1978, Samantha, "Sam" Bonti, is a fifteen-year-old living in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. She dreams of ... moresomeday becoming a writer and crossing the Bridge to become a success in Manhattan.Sam is half-Jewish, half-Catholic, in a neighborhood that is predominately Catholics of Italian heritage. Sometimes she is shunned in this Italian neighborhood. Luckily, as she begins high school, she meets Janice Caputo, a senior at the school. Janice is street savvy and becomes Sam's best friend. and thats how the story begins of sam and her brooklyn boy Tony ! This book is destined to be a movie ! Amazing read ! if you are a brooklynite or even a fellow New yorker you will enjoy this book . A girl from a dysfunctional family gets into the mafia life and then decides to leave and make something of herself less
