Girl on the Brink by Christina Hoag

3.0

Chloe is having a hard time at home so when she meets Kieran who is older and puts some things in to perspective. She trusts him, and things are great until they aren’t. Its interesting to see how fast it can change without you seeing or realizing that your almost dependent on that person.

And they were so young. I wasn’t a fan of Kieran’s from the get go and I went in completely blind other than the blurb. I found him to be very manipulative she justifies some of his behavior I think because she wants attention and he gives it to her. And that can be a hard trap to get out of.
He wanted her all to himself, he never wanted to meet or hang out with her friends. Huge red flags but when you’re a teenager and life at home isn’t easy you turn to whoever will give you what you need.

It was a good lesson book.

I love the voice of Marian, Chloe’s boss at the paper. The narrator did a good job bringing depth to these characters.
