FOSTERED by Author Vanessa Marie About and My Review

Description: 

Here we go again.
A new set of foster parents to make my life a living hell.
What number is this? Oh, that’s right, fourteen.
This dump will be no different than any of the rest.
They don’t care about me. No one does.
I wonder what it’ll take to get me kicked out this time.
Only six months left until I age out of this godforsaken system…
Everyone wants to adopt little babies they can mold into replicas of themselves.
No one wants a seventeen-year-old black kid with a rap sheet.
I’m damaged goods.
An easy paycheck.
I know there’s an ulterior motive here.
There has to be.
There always is…

**Disclaimer: As the mom of a thirteen-year-old, I feel I should note Fostered contains mild depictions that allude to neglect and abuse in the form of domestic violence, sexual assault, and verbal abuse. While the descriptions, detail, and manner are minimal, I wanted to be upfront about the material to give you a chance to discuss these things with your child if you find it suitable. If any of this material is a trigger, please be advised.

My Review:   This was given to me as an ARCs for my honest review.
This was my very first time I have read by Vanessa Marie. I was very honored to meet her and very happy to have been given this ARC.
I really loved this book. It was down right REAL. I have known many people that grew up in foster care and known their personal fights. This book was funny, sad, and very true to heart. Vanessa Marie I really enjoyed this great book and I am so glad that I was able to read this book. I do not give any spoilers but I do want to say that the characters in this book are great. RED, little Red, and ESPECIALLY Dante!!!
Excellent read!!!
