review 1: Glad I did not waste money on this book. Who are these people writing these 5 star reviews???. This is a poorly written book about family violence, bullying and self esteem issues all in one. I read books on this topic (all the time for work related book club)and though unfortunately I do not deny this stuff happens, the author did not make any of these characters likeable. Not impressed! I will not be adding this one to the list of books I give people that want to read on this topic.

A vulnerable tale of abuse and fragile young sensibilities. Written with talent and insightfulness.
