![]() ![]() ![]() I loved this book for what it is and what it stood for. I honestly appreciated every single page, every single word Kemmerer wrote. ![]() This book speaks quite heavily on psychical and psychological abuse. You can thank me later.Īs for the review, let me start off by mentioning some trigger warnings. So good, I wanted more! I didn’t want it to end! □□Īdd this to your TBR. I just loved this and I’m so glad it stayed that way with each reread. Supportive friends also made a world of difference in their lives. He was extremely fortunate to have been adopted into a loving home but the traces of abuse still linger in him years later. Rev’s parents stood out to me even more upon this reread. She’s a teenager, going through a lot, does not have a stable home life, is already facing sexism from a young age and is being cyber bullied. She’s prickly, angry, the testament of ‘hurt people hurt people’ applies to her quite aptly. But there are some really heartwarming moments sprinkled in between that allows you to get through it.Ībuse is never really great to read about, but it’s especially difficult when a child goes through it at the hand of a parent and Rev has gone through what no one should have to go through.Įmma isn’t the most likeable heroine. I need Brigid Kemmerer to get back to writing some more contemporary stories.Īs much as it isn’t a pleasant story to read, it made me feel warm inside. This duo of books is definitely up there as some of my favourite YA contemporaries and favourite books. ![]()
