Red at the Bone

Every other Jacqueline Woodson book I have read was an outstanding book that I recommended and often bought. I am unwilling to do either for Red at the Bone. This book is vastly different than the kids books that I appreciate by Woodson, this adult novel is very graphic with sexual content and has a high rate of cursing. I realize that this is based on a culture and lifestyle, but it didn't add to my appreciation to the book. The story would be more likable without the above content. I borrowed this from the local library. It has been on the bestseller list for multiple weeks.
