Ari is seventeen and living in a very dysfunctional and abusive family. She is trying to find a way out while also trying to protect her brother. Ari also believes that everything that goes wrong in her life is her fault. This is a story of living through trauma and trying to pick up the pieces. Can you ever deal with all the trauma and put it behind you.?

Initially you will have to get into the rhythm of this book. Once you find your footing it is a compelling story and you will want to know what is going to happen next. The story will have your wondering how our minds cope with trauma in order to survive and live. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend giving it a try.

Thank you to #netgalley, @misFITbooks, and @Heather Tucker for a copy of this book.

It’s very rare for me to read a novel that is written in the first person, present tense, and because of this I had a hard time getting into the rhythm of the storytelling. The writing is well done, however and the plot keeps moving forward.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
