khourianya's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.5

I’ve never watched an episode of icarly and I barely knew who she was before this book.  It’s such a sad story about a girlhood stolen.  I think the only reason I finished it was because I wish I’d had people to hear me out when I was a kid suffering from an eating disorder.
