review 1: It's difficult to review a book like this.On one hand, I give Pattie Mallette props for having survived abuse, depression and the struggles that go along with being a teenaged mother. On the other hand, I felt the book was a bit generous in the "God sent me a sign" department. Don't get me wrong--I have respect for people who live their lives with faith, I just have a difficult time believing that members of the church suddenly stopped her on the street to tell her stories of a "Jewish man who will come into her life" who turned out to be Scooter Braun.Some things I found were annoyingly inaccurate and others just seemed like fabrications. I found it absolutely unbelievable that a mother who was living on less than $10,000 would drive an hour and a half to a big city li... moreke Toronto and allow her son to busk. She said her friend drove her (these "friends" always turn out to be male) but it still didn't ring true to me. I felt like she left out a part of the story. Had she told what I suspect was the truth, she may have said: "A male friend who really wanted to have a relationship with me agreed to drive Justin and I almost 2 hours away so that he could busk on a street corner". THAT would have sounded better and is probably closer to the truth.This was an easy read and although I'm not a huge Justin Bieber fan, it was fun.
review 2: Pattie wants to find a way out of her past so she helps others and inspires them to believe.I really liked this book because she has inspired me to believe that there is always a way up. I would recommend this book to everyone because i believe that her story should be told.This book makes you believe that you can get through anything in life, and move on and forgive. i belive that Pattie Mallette wrote this book because she wants to teach others that there is always a way up, and that you can't ever give up in life. less
