While this book is written from a first person female narrative, the story is easy to be drawn into as the vast majority of individuals I have met while living from coast to coast have struggle with self-worth at some point in time. The story of indigo is provocative and gripping and is a worthwhile read for everyone, especially teen males and females growing up in the world with which we live today. Highly recommend this book to all readers!!

This was a bit of an intense read. The story moves fairly quickly and I finished it within a matter of hours. It deals with many hard topics, such as bullying, depression, and sexual impurity. I could definitely relate to some of the struggles the main character deals with and I found myself very enthralled with the story. I definitely recommend this book for women who have struggled with the three topics I mentioned above and for teen girls who may not be open to sharing their struggles but are looking for a way to deal with them.

Inspirational story of a teen struggling to get through life. When Indigo first falls for Brian, he's everything she thought he would be, filling in the holes in her heart. Even when she was hurting and didn't know how to continue with life, Brian was there to help. Throughout this book, there are issues of self doubt, heartbreak and falling out of touch with one's self. Indigo must follow the path she is given to find herself and trust others again. Great read!

Indigo follows the high school life of a female protagonist also called Indigo. We are introduced to her just after her first boyfriend had dumped her and she is going through the usual emotions associated with this. This immediately makes Indigo stand out as a YA novel, as this is a situation to which all teens and older readers can relate to. It also provides opportunity and scope for character development, as you would like to think that by the end of the book all the teen characters would have developed in one way or another.
The "sex is sacred within marriage" theme came out of nowhere after about 40 pages and it was about the same time we discovered the characters were seniors, which I believe is about 17/18 years old (I'm English so apologies if this is incorrect). I did struggle to align the dialogue and opinions with those of 18-year olds, but this may be because I am in such a different demographic to the characters (late 20-year-old female). I didn't like Indigo as a character, considering she held the above beliefs about sex, she moved from one boy to another to another very quickly and it seemed she felt each one was the most amazing boy ever. This came across as a little immature and gave me the impression that Indigo was a very changeable, possibly easily led character. One quote really stuck out for me, which was almost the last straw in my tolerance of Indigo "So I love God but not as much as I love boys". Yes, I am sure most teens who are raised in religious families and environments feel like this as some point, but the way this was described in Indigo didn't seem to do the experience justice. It was just glossed over and trivialized. On reading the afterword, I realised that “sexual sin” was an extremely personal topic for the author and she wanted to write this book as a way of helping others who were also experiencing this.
Brian's reaction to other people finding out about his and Indigo's sexual relationship was completely vile and chauvinistic, he took absolutely no blame and heaped it all on her. This became even more unreasonable when you discover that they didn’t have sex once, but 10 times! The fact that someone fictional or otherwise can take no responsibility for having sex 10 times is completely beyond my comprehension, and I assume is a major contributing factor to sexual sin. All I knew is that I was getting more and more frustrated with the whole novel, but also hoped this could prove to be a turning point for Indigo and she might, just might grow up a bit.
Indigo was written in quite a stilted manner and didn't seem to flow all that well. It felt as though the dialogue and description jumped about a lot and was almost forced. The writing style didn't seem natural, it was as if the author was struggling to convey what they wanted to. Or as if the major scenes had been written but there was no bridge between them, this made the book feel very disjointed.
The more I thought about Indigo when I wasn't reading it (and spoke about it to people) I realised that it might be very cleverly written. At face value, it seems very rushed and glossed over, but it is a story that I am thinking about while not reading and talking about to people and the fact that it is able to elicit such a strong response from me, can only be a good thing. The way it is written may mean it appeals to even younger readers, giving it a much wider audience which again is a huge positive point considering the effect the author wanted it to have.

Indigo is a realistic fiction novel by Krista Wagner which stars a teenage girl named Indigo. As a high-schooler, Indigo is finally realizing what is important in her life. Although she has already been heartbroken twice, Indigo is captivated by the charming “bad boy” Brian. They start to date and although Indigo feels that she needs him in her life, she falls for him too hard and too fast. She eventually sleeps with him, giving him her virginity which affects her in the worst possible way. She becomes unhealthily dependent on him, constantly seeking out his emotional and sexual attention towards her. Their relationship opens up wounds Indigo has silently ignored such as her depression and her disappointment with herself for sinning against God. These feelings escalate quickly and soon overtake her, making her wonder what is more important: life or death? Will Indigo always feel that need to no longer exist, or will she eventually understand that life is worth living?
Indigo beautifully examines a question that most teens have when it comes to most major events in life, especially sexual relationships: how far is too far? By the end of the novel Indigo comes to realize that God made her for a reason. She understands that although you may not always feel like it, you are an important child of God and you deserve the right to live. The way Krista Wagner writes about Indigo, the main character, is wonderful. She does a very good job of creating a hopeful tone and talking about hard-hitting topics such as messy heartbreaks, bullying, overpowering feelings of guilt and even suicide.
Wagner is a great storyteller overall, and I was impressed by the pacing of the novel. It is not too fast nor too slow, and all of the extraordinary emotions following the plot were unfolded wonderfully. There are certain intense feelings and topics that can be hard to talk about altogether, but Wagner hits them right on the head, unafraid and willing to make a person see their worth. She wants you to understand the important idea that, no matter what, “you can overcome whatever sin is entangling you.” I would suggest this book to any teenage girl, any person who is surviving through depression, or any person who craves love. This book teaches you that although life may not seem worth living right now, eventually it will get better.

The first time reading was very interesting. I loved the book and its message, and there were sections that hit hard with me bc I resonate with Indigo very much. I read it again because I felt like I missed parts of the story the first time. I often get that feeling when reading suspense novels.
A really good book, great for young adults. There are some trigger warnings though. Anyone who has ever struggled with suicidal thoughts or behaviors should NOT read this book because it can cause triggers. Also, content warning for younger readers: there are sexual references and mental health issues in this book.

This story focuses on the high school life on Indigo Star Rush and the truly dreadful experiences that she was forced to live through in her high school life. While I couldn't relate with her exact experiences I could still sympathize with what she was going through and it even made me recollect and remember my high school experiences that I struggled with. As I continued to read the story I was able to grow more attached to Indigo and gain a understanding of who she truly was as a person. As each character was introduced throughout the story the author did a great job of developing them and giving the story so much more meaning. While I personally enjoyed the story it felt a bit too rushed for my liking. Everything seems to happen so fast but for anyone looking for a fast paced quick read this is the book. Not only is this book quite relatable for high school students but it also will make anyone reminisce on their years in high school. I truly enjoyed the story and gave me a realization of how some high students must be feeling with everything that's happening in there lives. I personally recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a quick read (typically a few hours) that is looking more into the lives of high school students or just something to read to be entertained because I can guarantee you that you will be in for a shock.

Before I even begin to read a book, I always read the back to get a little summary of what the book is going to be about. In the book Indigo's Struggle I got the impression that it was going to be somewhat of a love story. Yes the book in a way does have a love theme to it, but it is so much more than a love story, it is the difficulties of a young women in high school and all the things she endures struggling to become a better person. The writing and how detailed each scene was in the book made me feel like I was apart of that scene. I believe every single person who went to high school can definitely relate to this book, even though the main character is a young teenage girl, boys can relate to some of the struggles that she faced because of how high school is in real life. Another, reason why I give this book 5 stars is because of the characters in the book. The characters come to life and it makes the readers find little details of the characters that they can relate too. Once you begin to read this book you will not want to put it down because you are constantly wanting to read what is going to happen next. If you want to read a book that is filled with drama and happiness and make you reminisce about your high school days then this is the book for you.

Indigo's Struggle was one of the most impactful emotional rollercoasters I have ever read. I did not pay attention to who the author was until I finished it and figured it was my professor. Indigo's Struggle had a very raw and personal story that could relate to a young adult's life. The main character, Indigo, was seemed to have similar characteristics to young adults and this made it more relatable. I recommend it to any person who likes to read very stories with a raw and positive outlooks. The writing style was very understandable and easy to read. The whole book was more focused on the message than the format of sending the message. The storyline will keep you interested throughout the book. The settings and events that occur are easy to picture and easy to see it as a movie. One thing that could have been better is the detail towards the end. Having a detailed ending about the antagonist would have made a clearer picture how the protagonist probable state of mind is. Other than that, I loved the book for being honest, raw, and full of hope.

This wasn't my first Krista Wagner book and it won't be my last. I always enjoy her work and am amazed at how well developed her characters are. Indigo was a great character, Wagner did a great job creating someone that I truly felt for. I hated what she was going through and was hoping everything was going to work out for her in the end.
Indigo had a great set of friends that really stuck by her when she needed them. Jason was a sweetheart and really gave me hope for her throughout this book. Katrina and Ruth were great too and they reminded me a lot of my friends in high school. Wagner has a way of creating life-like characters that are easy for me to connect to. That does mean her villains are life-like as well, though. Who didn't have a run-in with a mean girl or two in school? And don't even get me started on that douche canoe, Brian.
I highly recommend this book to any teenager that's having a hard time.

Secrets can be dangerous ... and possibly deadly.
Indigo is dealing with love and loss, typical of high school, which will be all-too-familiar to many readers. It is an intense YA tale which tackles some hard-hitting topics: breakups, heartbreak, bullying, guilt, and depression, just to name a few. Wagner handles these subjects in a tactful manner. While there is an inspirational theme woven throughout, it is not preachy. I really enjoyed how poetry is incorporated, too.
This is a quick, engaging read, but it is not a fluff book. The end feels a bit rushed, and perhaps a bit too neat, but it is appropriate. This is the first book I've read by Wagner, but it won't be the last.

Indigo's Struggle was a unique story, tho I personally could not relate to the story I can see many high school students go through what is described in this story to a certain degree. The characters throughout the story all had a very realistic feel towards them as in someone I would've met in high school which allow you to personally connect with them. The story-line even though it may seem as if it is a very typical high school story it does have many moment in which I was surprised as to what is actually going on which I believe is what kept the story interesting. The story does move quickly which allow you to finish quite fast which I personally enjoy. The overall message of the story is a very important one and I believe that it is one that many people face.

Indigo seems to be happy. Inside, she's falling apart. She hides the pain, then the guilt. Bullying to the point of sinister threatens Indigo. Someone finds her diary and the secrets she's been hiding.
What No One Knew goes deep into the world of Indigo. Her fears. Her dreams. Her pain. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It heals all clean wounds. Keeping secrets in darkness equals dirty. Putting those secrets into the light of the Kingdom of God equals clean. The message: Confess your sins to God and trusted Christians.
I enjoyed this real-to-life story. It shows the power of God through Jesus.

What No One Knew: A Small Town Secrets Novel Book #2 is an emotional read that is very relevant in these times. Indigo is a typical teenager with a tragic past. This is her story as she deals with heartbreak, bullying, depression, guilt over sexual activity, and thoughts of suicide. The author has handled these topics with great sensitivity.
I would recommend this book to readers of any age since these topics are so prevalent in society today.
I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

This book is one of those books where you just can't put it down because you want to know what happens next. I finished it in a few hours. Indigo's Struggle reminded me a lot of moments when I was in high school. I was really into the book because I was able to relate to some parts of the novel. I like how the novel seems so real even though it's fiction. I say this because it has so many scenarios where things like this do happen in real life to people. Overall it's a really good book.
December 8, 2017
This novel is an excellent read. The topics brought up in the novel are very difficult to handle when writing about the emotions teenagers have pent up and don't say anything to anyone on how they feel. Yet this novel does a good job at handling the problems that almost every teenage girl would see now in high school. I'm sure many young adults and teenagers would enjoy reading this book. The little reference to a classic movie is a nice touch as well and one of the highlights for me.

This is a really great stand-alone book that is part of a great series. I was drawn in immediately as I got to know Indigo, the main character and to follow her story. This is a compelling story that did not the fluff of sex or curse words - it is good by itself! Excellent job to the author who I am a 3 time reader now and loved every single book.

Indigo’s struggles were relatable to me as a female, and would be for anyone dealing with uncertainty and deceit in a relationship. Just like in daily life, you never know if there’s going to be a happy ending, until the end.

Some books feel like fiction. Others feel like someone sees you. Intent: What No One Knew hit me in the chest like a whispered truth I wasn’t ready to face. This isn’t just a suspense novel—it’s a raw, unflinching look at the weight of secrets, the suffocating grip of loneliness, and the quiet, desperate battle to hold onto faith when everything feels like it’s slipping away.
From the outside, she’s perfect—popular, dating the golden boy, smiling through the school hallways. But smiles can be masks, and hers is hiding something no one sees. Not her friends. Not even herself—until the whispers start. Until someone knows what she’s hiding. And they aren’t just watching… they’re threatening.
This book wrecked me. Krista Wagner doesn’t just write a story—she forces you to feel it. The suffocating fear of being exposed. The way loneliness eats at you, even when you’re surrounded by people. The slow unraveling of a girl who’s been pretending for so long she almost believes the lie herself. And then there’s faith. Because this isn’t a simple, tied-up-with-a-bow Christian story. It’s messy. It’s real. It’s about what happens when the darkness gets so loud that God feels silent. And that is what made this book so personal for me.
I didn’t just read this book—I lived it. I felt her fear, her exhaustion, her desperation. I know what it’s like to carry pain so heavy you think if you put it down, it will crush you. And I know what it’s like to believe that no one would understand if they saw the truth. But this story? It reminds you that you’re not alone. That darkness lies. That hope, even when it feels far away, is never really gone.
If you’ve ever struggled with your own thoughts, if you’ve ever felt unseen, if you’ve ever wondered if your faith was strong enough to hold you—this book is for you. And even if you haven’t, Intent: What No One Knew is a suspenseful, gut-wrenching mystery that will grip you from page one and won’t let go until long after you’ve turned the last page.
I won’t forget this book. And if you read it? You won’t either.

I know the struggles of the main character, Indigo. I felt the same throughout high school myself. I always dealt with struggles of being accepted and always searched for a boy, wanting to be that special person. With each high and low, things and situations spiraled out of control. I connected to this girl. We both wanted to do good but failed through strong desire. This was an enjoyable read, I give it five stares for the strong connection Indigo and I had. I would encourage me daughter to read 'Indigo's struggle' when she starts high school. Be strong in your identity, find worth in yourself, and shine.

Very intriguing coming of age novel. This book brings to light the dark corners of teenage life that no one wants to talk about. It hits on depression that leads to addictive behavior which leads to suicidal tendencies. It takes us a journey through the life of an average teenager just trying to find her way in the world.
I felt this book portrayed real situations that teens deal with every day in a vivid and in your face sort of way while still holding out hope for a better future. It reminds us that no matter what our circumstances, there is always hope and we are always loved.

Dear Reader,
When I started writing indigo’s struggle, it occurred to me that there were hardly any novels dealing with hard-hitting issues like bullying and depression and what happens when you internalize the emotions that come with them.
Indigo is someone relatable because at some point we have found ourselves in the dark. But there is hope and victory here too.
This story resonates on a very personal note with me as well as you will see in the foreword.
I hope you enjoy the novel as much as I have,
Krista Wagner
