This is such a difficult book. I think the story gives a valuable insight into what victims of abuse experience and the manipulation that is involved. It can be difficult as someone outside the situation to understand the victim. I think it shows very clearly how many people did not do anything to help when they knew what was going on, and how important speaking up is.
This was very graphic in places and I did feel it was too much, and I cannot recommend this to anyone else because of this. I am surprised by how many people I had seen recommend this.
I am glad the story ended with Vanessa beginning to see glimpses of how she can more on and become her own person again, I wish we had seen more of this.

This book is not an easy read. That being said I'm so glad that I stuck with it all the way to the end. I'm a survivor of similar abuse and it helped me to gain some fresh insight into my own situation. It's well written and she expresses so well the inner turmoil of a survivor. Read with caution if you're easily triggered.
