This was such a fun book! I loved it and have recommended it to lots of people
I didn't think I'd like it because it is about aliens....but it was AWESOME! Highly recommended!!!
Pretty solid characters in here, liked it.
I couldn't decide on a rating because how do you rate something like this? So I left it blank. This book is an intense ride. There were times I was literally holding my breath because of the suspense or anguish I felt for Kendra. My notes are full of questions, mostly asking how Kendra can stand having snippets of memories about her abuse and not knowing the identity of the abuser. (Honestly, HOW can she stand it? I get this ache in the middle of my chest just thinking about it and it didn't even happen to me.) If it were me, I would be a mess. Curled up in a fetal ball, never coming out of the world I'd pretend into existence in my head. The fact that Kendra isn't like that, but alive and working through her past and current trauma makes her a thousand times stronger than me. Throughout the book there were several times I was in disbelief over the sheer amount of hell Kendra lived through. Could so much bad stuff happen to one person? But if you watch the news at all, the answer to that question is 'yes'. I hate that it is. I hate that this happens to people. I hate that this has happened to people. I could go on a rant about this, and how guilty I feel for having a good and safe life so far in light of all this, but that would take away from the issue, which is the book. And how much people should read it. I'm not kidding. You should read this book. The sheer magnitude of anguish and pain should not scare you away from the tragic truth that what happened to Kendra has and will happen to other people. It makes me both angry and sad at the thought. And of course I teared up at the end of the book. How could I not? At the very end of the book, there are pages of links to places that can help if you're self-harming, or know someone who is. Here are just a few that Cheryl has highlighted.
