Let's No One Get Hurt by Jon Pineda
Set against the backdrop of the American South, this poignant coming-of-age story follows 16-year-old Pearl as she navigates the complexities of adolescence and survival. Living in a derelict boathouse with her father, Pearl's world is a blend of beauty and hardship, where she finds solace in the natural surroundings and her own vivid imagination. Her life takes a turn when she encounters a group of privileged teenagers, leading to a series of events that challenge her understanding of friendship, loyalty, and identity. Through lyrical prose, the narrative explores themes of poverty, resilience, and the search for belonging in a world that often feels indifferent.
