This is such a sad story… and I do feel sad for Noah even though I probably would feel different in real life… but how he was remorseful about what he was and did… and what he chose to do… it would break anyone’s heart

I absolutely HATED this book, but not because it was bad. It wasn't, but the content was so hard for me to get through. I don't think I've cried so much during a book to the point that I was almost sobbing. I don't have any kids, but I can't even begin to imagine everything the mom went through.

Very sad. Very intense. It’s not a bad book. I just wouldn’t recommend this to many people as it deals with sexual abuse. I felt a lot of feelings at the end. But this was mostly a sad book.

WOW! I always go in blind and I'm not sure if that helped or hindered my reading this time. Hiccupping ugly cry for me! Whew. This one will be heavy on my mind for quite some time but it is for sure one I will NEVER forget!
