She always was careful what she said and knew who her friends were. That is until she met Eric Valiente, a new kid in school. She ends up making the wrong choice when she has a decision to be with him and be a part of the action or not. Julia doesn't realize what Eric is hiding and the secrets he isn't willing to share. She runs into a lot of opsticales and ends up getting beaten up and jumped. She finds out once a crip, your always crip. Also the label of being a snitch which may never leave you. I thought this was a pretty good book and an easy read. Here's another review of Snitch.
