I wish I could give this 0 starts. This was the worst book I’ve ever read. I hate how it was written, it sounded so childish even though it was in the perspective of high schoolers. I didn’t even finish it because it was that bad and I skimmed most of it. I wish I didn’t waste so much time on it. Also how is this getting good reviews?!? It’s so bad

I’ve never cried for this much for a book it’s written devastatingly beautiful and the emotions I felt were unlike any emotions I’ve read about
The more I continued reading the more emotional I got

Sentimientos encontrados, definitivamente refleja la realidad de las mujeres que son victimas de violacion y abuso pero todo el libro estuve enojada y con coraje.
Idk Nose que decir jajaja

A heartbreaking and powerful novel, The Way I Used to Be follows Eden as she navigates the aftermath of a traumatic assault that shatters her sense of self. Amber Smith’s writing is raw and emotional, capturing the pain, anger, and isolation Eden experiences as she struggles to reclaim her identity. Told over four years, the story shows how trauma can shape a person’s choices and relationships, making it both heartbreaking and deeply compelling. This is a tough but important read that sheds light on survival, resilience, and healing.
I read this book in one day and cried like someone personally ripped my heart out. It’s one of those stories that grabs you by the throat and does not let go. The writing is so raw and honest that it feels like you’re living every emotion right alongside the main character, the pain, the anger, the numbness, all of it.
This book doesn’t hold back, and that’s what makes it hit so hard. It shows how messy and complicated healing can be, and how sometimes it feels impossible to let people in, even when you desperately need them. There were moments I wanted to scream at the pages, moments I had to close the book just to breathe, and moments that completely shattered me.
If you’re gonna read it maybe clear your schedule and grab a box of tissues, because it’s gonna hurt. A lot.
