This book was an easy read, but after the read is over is when the real book hits home. This novel forces you to examine your inner self, and challenges you to be better under the worst possible scenario. The characters are real and raw. The narrator a young girl with youthful inexperience. Life is certainly not fair and this book is a swift reminder of that. Yet, somehow, at the end you find yourself holding on to the story and thinking and thinking and thinking. For better or worse.
