Book Information 

A young woman living on the street has to keep her wits about her. Or her friends. But when the drugs kick in that can be hard. 

Anton has been looking out for her. She was safe with him. But then Steve came along. 

He had something over Anton. Must have. But he had a flat they could crash in. And gear in his pocket. And she can't stop thinking about it. A good hit makes everything all right. 

But the flat smells weird. 
There's a lock on Steve's bedroom door. 
And the guy is intense. 

The problem is, sometimes you just don't know you are in too deep, until you are drowning.

My Review 

3.5☆ An Intense, Poignant and Gritty Read!

The Rip is an intense, poignant and gritty
account of a young girl called Dani who is homeless with
her adorable Fur Baby Sunny. She quickly Befriends Anton who looks out for her and becomes like family to her.

But everything is about to change now Steve has rocked his way into the picture!
Steve is an acquaintance of Anton and he is a nasty bit of goods!
He gets Dani and Anton deeper into drugs meaning more begging and burglary to pay for the drugs and food.

But all is not what it seems with Steve and he's dangerous, but can Dani and Anton get out before something bad happens, or are they in to deep!

This book is not for the feint hearted, it features heavy drug use, reference to prostitution but it's a harsh reality into what it's like surviving on the streets.

I really enjoyed the story and the gritty and intense themes, however the ending I felt was rushed. After everything Dani endures I wanted to see the ending play out a bit better. Don't get me wrong it was a fitting ending but I felt it ended abruptly.

The Rip is a quick read, it's pacy, at times intense, but I really liked the characters especially Sunny who actually melted my heart, and thank you for not going into detail about his story ending. It was a stark reality into what drugs can do to you and the lengths you can go to get the next hit.
I really liked that the story was told from Dani's point of view, she had an air of innocence about her, a trusting nature which made me champion her even more to get well.
People find themselves living homeless for so many reasons and this book delves into some of them.
The Rip is a book that will have you Gripped to the end.
