1.0

boring book with a pedophiliac relationship written in a good light. gg kathleen
Literally only once in the entire book does someone say "hey thats pedophilia" but does nothing to help the mc. Then NOBODY is surprised when

the pedo cheats on her, hits her, and sics his crazy drug dealer girlfriend on her and her friend

like ? Why didn't her "friends" do more to help the VICTIM OF PEDOPHILIA?

flylillies's review against another edition

Apparently, this is a romance between a 27 year old man and a 17 year old girl, I don't think she even turns 18 in this book. Yeah, maybe the point is that it's supposed to be bad, but I don't want to continue reading to find out. And even if it was the point to shed light upon grooming, why does everyone I see talking about this book say they love Riley and Charlie together?

The read left me satisfied. It's a dark book covering a range of topics from homelessness to identity, with a large group of characters that all equally have their own hopes and dreams. Beautiful storytelling that made me feel for every character, and the ending leaves just enough to the imagination that a second book isn't necessary.

This was such a heartbreaking, gut wrenching read and I feel as though words cannot express how deeply I care for this book. The way Charlie had the opportunity to be better once she got out of the facility she was placed in after her suicide attempt yet chose the path she knew would ruin her and set her back to that terrible mental state. Having to be put through the horrid events she’s experienced from such a young age bc of her environment, was hard to read about bc we know she deserves better yet she doesn’t feel she’s worthy of getting it. 

The beginning of her end was her upbringing with her parents who had many problems of their own and bringing her into their world, just seemed to make it worse. The catalyst of it all was definitely what she was put through by her best friend Elise. Sure she was her only friend but that didn’t necessarily mean she was a good influence in Charlie’s life especially after she started getting mixed up in substances, bad boyfriends and bringing those issues to Charlie.

I’ve teared up and cried and straight up paused the audiobook several times bc of the contents in the book. Whether it was from genuine disbelief in the bad decisions Charlie continued to make, the shit other characters put her through (both in the past and present) or from knowing that the story can only end one of two ways 1. She relapses & cuts herself to death or 2. She finds the strength to get the proper support she needs in order to create the life she wants and deserves for herself bc she’s still a kid with a bright future ahead. I’m happy it ended the way it did, with Charlie getting closure from Riley at the concert and her on the way to achieve her dreams of becoming an artist as she starts a letter to Elise. It was the official end to that era of her life so she can truly gain the happiness she needs after a lifetime of misery.
