The book begins with the Eden being tormented by the thoughts from her sexual assault. Kevin did it her brother's best friend who had been like another brother. Her mom walked in and just thought she had a period accident. Kevin gives me the fucking ick and anger of a thousand suns telling her no one would believe her. SHE even wanted to pretend it was only a nightmare. Everyone just assume's Edy's being standoffish because Caelin went to college and is now acting weird to everyone. Kevin had turned him against Caelin telling him he thinks Edy has a weird crush on him while Edy wants everyone to just hear her finally for a second. She's sleeping on her bedroom floor instead as she's so uncomfortable in her bed now. Edy meets Mrs. Sullivan the librarian who seems to help her after she's bullied in the lunchroom. Edy at least has Mara her bestfriend and Stephen a friend who helps with their history project. Kevin may have been molested by his uncle and continuing the line of abuse. Edy has no one to tell about what's going on. This story makes my chest hurt seeing how hard it is for her to deal with this. Edy's has so much anger built inside of her it won't take much for her to finally explode. Josh is Edy's new obsession and she wants to completely reinvent herself just like Mara. Edy is avoiding Josh for Mrs. Sullivan volunteering in the library where it is nice snd safe and she doesn't have to leave her personal little bubble. Amanda Kevin's sister is acting weird as hell. Josh and Edy get closer to one another and it eventually ends with Edy sneaking out after he told her he loved her when he thought she was sleeping. Eden is scared of losing Josh even though she does not show it. Josh found out she's 15 holy crappp. Eden has gone off the deep end and has slept with more than 15 guys by her Junior year. Mara wants her to settle down with a guy named Steve, Cameron's friend and she is just pushing herself as far away from commitment as she can. Mara and Edy get into a fight because Mara forgets her birthday and she basically gets called a whore for how much sleeping around she's doing. They end up making up as it was their first fight in about 7 years and Mara explains she's just worried about her and wants to set her up with Steve. Edy finally ends up beating Amanda's ass but she finally feels bad about the whole school turning on her. Eden ends up calling Josh when she finds out that Kevin was arrested for raping his girlfriend after she broke up with him. Amanda lists Eden as a possible person of interest when it came to Kevin finally putting two and two together. Edy tells Josh she was raped and he talks through things with her then she tells her brother who flips out but believes her wholeheartedly. The book ends with her finally going to the police station and her brother and her having a better relationship. She wants to reconcile with everyone in her life.
I'm not super satisfied with how the book ended after all this stress but since there's another book I'll give this 5 stars, this book brought out all the feelings and I for sure ended up crying. I almost felt the pain of the main character it feels and only good books do that.
