I have never given a review on a novel before but I will on this one. it's a very emotional, realistic, and painful story for me to read. you know at some point I kinda felt that the author was telling her story and pouring out herself. I don't know...i...might be wrong . but I am so sorry to whoever has suffered such out there. I was crying while reading this novel. I felt like was there and... that I could feel her pain. I felt like conforting. I know it's just a story but it was just so real.....
This book is about bullied, abuse and rape. I don't like author to promote rape. As a reader I can't blame Iris character. I don't think she's stupid, I have empathy with her situation. she just need support for other human being so that she can stand up strong. I really disgusted with Hunter character. He's a trash!! If he doesn't go to jail I'm gonna be really mad with this author. Why let Hunter get away with his doing. Where is the justice in this novel?? If this is the society we live in then I rather be a dog.đ¤Ł
After reading the description and the reviews I really didn't know what to think about this book, but decided to give it a try. The biggest highlight for me was the MCs developement - it was smooth and showed the reader that she could grow despite being broken and get better. The writing is excellent. The story flows smoothly and doesn't feel rushed even though the story is pretty short. My biggest problem are the side characters. It feels like most of the times they show Iris love, but don't really help her situation. Showing love is, of course the best way to heal a broken person (along with professional help), but here it just falls short. No one reported the abuser, no one even confronted him. Clement was even good with him even though he knew he ***** Iris and abused her. So yeah, the story falls short on it's side characters. Otherwise it's a good one.
