"Really heartbreaking, completely screwed up book. Definitely check trigger warnings"
Skye Edelson-Bennett
"Horrific "
Miranda Langle
"Brutal"
Joseph Cupertino
"This one is brutal...the realism here is done so well, I was devastated and disturbed by some horrifying events. The most extreme horror realism I felt that was not in the extreme horror splatter punk category."
Devon K.
"Did not finish, too hard to read. Check trigger warnings"
Melanie Turner-Ridling
"Very well written book. It’s hard to believe this actually happened. Definitely broke my heart with the horrors this poor 14 year old girl went through. "
Kelsey King
"Sad traumatizing book my heart broke for the poor girl"
Nicole MacDonald
"I watched the movie based around this book and researched the story, heard about the book, and had to read it. Ketchum did a great job at creating vivid images from his descriptions. This book took me a long time to read, in many different sittings. Insane book, if you have a stomach to handle things like this."
Nikki Rae
"Nasty story of a girl that gets abused by step mother. The things they did were horrific… "
