Great

Only thing I'd change is having another book following this one about Cole and Oakley's lives instead if Jasper's! Love it

It's been four years since Oakley fled to Australia with her family, she's now forced to come face to face with her past, once again. The trials of the people who ruined her childhood are about to begin. It's a good sequel to silence, and it still makes me cry so much. I really do love that Oakley has a great family around her that believe her and support her. I also like how the author doesn't forget small things, like Oakley doing gymnastics, and brings them back into the story. I give extreme trigger warnings, and they're shown in the content warnings category. The only thing I didn't like is that, again, it felt somewhat like a teenager wrote it, and some of the so called "english" things aren't actually english. I would recommend this to ages 16 and up so they can fully understand it.

Four years after up-rooting their life and moving to Australia, Oakley and her family are back in England for the trial. Oakley has prepared to testify against her father and the man who abused her, what she wasn't prepared for after all these years was coming face-to-face with Cole again. It's almost as if no time had passed at all as they found their way back to each other. But when the trial starts, everything comes out and her family then knows all the horrific details of the pain she endured. But there's one plot twist left that nobody was prepared for during the trial.

"Face your fears head-on."
