As I read Credence, I really enjoyed setting: the mountains in different seasons. Many days after reading the book, I still have the setting in my head all the time. I guess that also happens when you have a good chunk of story: you are immersed in that particular world for some time.
Some aspects of the main character I didn't like especially in the beginning but that is a part of her story and development: you have to start somewhere. I could see obvious character growth even amid the madness. I like books that have character growth so I was satisfied with that.
I am not into smut so those parts I don't remember. I didn't like some things about the "step" family relationships. What I appreciated was that she was taught survival skills and this made her stronger in the end.
I believe The writer tried to create something that would appeal to various audiences. I wanted a story and I got one.

The characters are vibrant and unique. The story is well planned and so comfortable to fall in to. I read this book in a single day because it sucked me in so fully. I didn't want to put it down. The scene setting is vivid and vibrant, the story is relatable to a degree. There are some heavy topics but there is also a large dose of humor on an adult level and I appreciated that so much. I found myself laughing out loud and talking to no one in particular when certain things happened. By the end of the book I was crying for multiple reasons.
It was, from start to finish, a journey that you find yourself captivated by. I don't know why I'm surprised I loved Punk 57 and Penelope delivers even better in this book. If I ever start to do rereads (because I don't typically), I will pick up this book. I could see myself enjoying the ride again and again. If you can handle the content, read. this. book. I would definitely give it four out of five chili peppers for spice if that's not your thing then I wouldn't recommend it. Again though, absolutely five stars. Period.
