My Thoughts - Story
This was such a tough book to get through because it was deep and it was brutal. I don’t know how many times I found my heart-rate skyrocketing and my anger building. The one thing I hate in this world more than anything else are bullies.
My heart bled for Romy throughout this book and I connected with her – I couldn’t understand why she constantly put herself back out there for more torture. I was pissed at the town, pissed at the teachers, pissed at everyone for not believing her and making her a product of ridicule and an outcast.
I wanted to take this poor girl and save her from all the cruelties she went through in this story. But you know what…I live by: What comes around…goes around!
This book made me feel…they may not have been happy ones…but I felt just the same!
Re-Cap
Romy is constantly picked on – hurt – made to feel like an outcast because of saying the sheriff’s son raped her. No MEANS NO! Live through Romy’s eyes as she deals with old friends who want nothing more than to rid the world of her – live through her existence alone except for her job in the next town where no one knows her.
It isn’t until Romy’s ex best friend goes missing that everything comes to a head in this town and the truth just might set her free.
