This is the story of a young girls life, that was effected so much by her home life that she volunteered to go into care. Therefore you can't really rate someone's experiences.
I would recommend Cathy Glass' books to anyone who wants an insight into the fostering system and the troubles within.

Until the very ending of this book, I was planning to give it a full 4 stars, As Tilly's story was one that kept me reading, mainly through anger at what her stepfather had been up to. But I couldn't give slipped down a bit because at the end it revealed it was essentially a two parter, with the'sequel' being A Life Lost, which meant I had to go and buy that one, and though i read a lot of fantasy novels, and so used to sequels, I didn't like how this I've creeped up on me unaware. So sadly I had to mark it down. Saying that, I look forward to reading the end of Tilly's take, and intrigued how the new kid is going to fit in.

As much as the content of the book was informative around fostering as well as heartbreaking to listen to, you never hear the ‘end’ of this story and are asked to follow Tilly’s story in the next book. That made it felt like the story was exploited to sell the next and other books that are mentioned.
