Review: Spidertown

User Review  - Rebeka - Goodreads

I wish I had read this in high school. Great young adult fiction. Some homophobic remarks here and there but that's in line with the gang/narco culture of the characters so I guess it's understandable. Fun little sex scenes for teenagers. Read full review
