This book was difficult to read (or listen to on audio book like I did) because of the topic. The author did a good job of accurately portraying domestic violence and it’s effects on children. My main issue with the book was that the teenagers, especially the main character, seemed unrealistic. I found it difficult to believe that the main character was a teen, for he simply did not act like one at all. This made it difficult for me to really get into the story, for I was always questioning Jace’s actions and his interactions with his friends and classmates.
