Wow this is going to be awkward its been soooo long since I've done one of these blogs. Well, let me just begin I started reading this new book Tapout by Eric Devine, The book is about a 17 year old boy living with his mother, the issue comes in because his mother is regularly beaten by her boyfriend. The book starts off  with the lines "I am a pussy, I know this, and not much else" Tony relives the same nightmares that he through with Cameron that he did with his father, they both abuse her (pg 8). Tony finally finally decides to stand up for himself but most importantly for his mother (pg 19) Tony finally stood up for his mother by kicking her boyfriend out of the house. He blames his mother for all the hardships he lives through beacuse of the men his mom dates. Tony not only has a hard life at home because he hears his mom getting beat by Cameron but he also gets bullied a t school by one of his "friends" Rob. Tony sees one of Camerons nephew at school and was threatened by him who is even crazier than Cameron. Well that's all I've read so far
