Books that are not for people who see the world with rose-colored glasses if you know what I mean. I hadn't heard of this one before but I'll def be keeping an eye out for it now! It's one of the reasons I love Ellen Hopkins books so much! Great review! :)Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560140880578824032.post-4776282830079090822014-08-18T14:38:34.028-04:002014-08-18T14:38:34.028-04:00It definitely sounds like this is a story that pro...It definitely sounds like this is a story that provokes a lot of feeling and not all of it wonderful but still something that is worth reading. I think I would need to prepare myself before starting this one though.Kindlemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084577342034704304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560140880578824032.post-53362436584353687242014-08-18T12:38:58.748-04:002014-08-18T12:38:58.748-04:00It wasn't that dark, Carmel.

The important part is that the book didn't end up being a cliché. bookittybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881581485182885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560140880578824032.post-56008520819243014382014-08-18T12:31:56.114-04:002014-08-18T12:31:56.114-04:00Thank you Soma!

And, you're exactly right, any writer that can make you feel is always better than apathy, even if you do end up throwing the book across the room. LOL I also like that the victims stay that way.

I guess it would depend on how a reader decides to take away from the book, eh? <br /><br />Great review, Beth!
