A page turner, yet so hard to read. Undoubtedly harder to live. I saw small slivers of my own childhood trauma in Tara’s story, although nothing nearly as extreme. Power to her for being able to chronicle this harrowing tale. I’m glad things are better for her now. A really gripping writing style that made me not want to put the book down.

I would rate it higher if it didn’t get frustrating at points. Once again, living this is obviously much harder than simply reading about it, but I wanted to reach through the page and slap so many people silly. It was hard to get through the descriptions of the physical and emotional abuse.

Really interesting story about a girl learning about the world around her. I thought it was interesting how while she was educated in an academic way, she was also educated socially. She understood social norms and where she fit in, and made friends and other great relationships along the way.
