This story contains many encounters of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. Some readers may be triggered by the real-life events that the author shares.
I was immediately hooked last night when I started reading this very heartbreaking story. It took real courage to come forward and share a story such as this one. Addie, you are stronger than you give yourself credit for.
No child should ever be used as a human punching bag, not ever.
No child should ever be pimped out to random strangers.
5-Star Worthy. For now, it’s a solid 4-Star.
I’m looking forward to the second book in the series.
*** I have contacted the author to let her know my concerns. I’ve decided to share this only to my blog for now. It wouldn’t be fair to leave a 4-Star rating on Amazon or GoodReads at this point. The story is good, it held my attention, I was able to connect on an emotional level. This book has potential, it should be revised. Just my thoughts and opinions. ***

I thought it was ckverly written – the spelling and punctuation errors created a very real impression of someone who struggled academically and was behind in many ways. Intentional errors. Brilliant!
