My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In this book we see the struggles of a teenager who is the sole survivor of a multiple homicide in which her best friends are killed, she is left with no one by her side, and the grief is too much for her because of all the pressure put on her to continue with her life when she just wants to give up.
Themes like bisexuality are touched upon, the fear of the
"Bad Reputation" and the shame of being called "Lesbian"
and not being able to explain what being bisexual is to family and friends are
described with a very true nature in this book.
A little fast paced with a very captivating and emotional
plot, this is a story that reflects the problems and situations that teenagers
go through.
Note: I received a free digital copy of this book for an
unbiased opinion and reviewing purposes.
