Reviews

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this novel, you see many different aspects of the life of a teenage girl who goes through a lot of hardships. This is something I enjoyed about the book because it shows how one can overcome any obstacle no matter how big and that it always gets better. Another factor that I thoroughly enjoyed was that it has both sides of the story. This helps the reader get to understand what goes through the mind of the victim and that of the abuser. The only thing I did not really like about this book is how naive the protagonist could come off as, but I am aware that it contributes to the outcome of the story.

I like the fact that it showed both of their POVs :)
