But at the same time, we both need our close friends to help us through each day. I can also connect to Darry who is a workaholic. Although he is only twenty, he works two full-time jobs and basically raises his two teen brothers. Like Darry, I need to always be doing something. My favorite quote in this book is," I'll take anyone." This is my favorite quote
