I have very mixed feelings about this book. It was such an easy read which was nice however a lot of the content was quite heavy as it focuses on severe child abuse. I also found the writing so strange as it was set in America but English terminology was used - for example crisps instead of chips.

I really enjoyed the character development - particularly Carey and Jenessa.

When Jenessa finally spoke out loud and was calling after the dog I was so happy!! /spoiler> I also really liked Melissa and the dad - very wholesome. I found Delaney very annoying tho. 

I did find the plot really predictable which was quite disappointing

I pretty much knew from the first few chapters that she killed a man that raped her

I also think  it was pretty random chucking in the love interest Ryan - I really liked his character but I just feel like it was thrown in. 

I did like the happy ending, however I don’t think I would read the book again. 

There really needs to be some content warnings about this book - Child rape.
