I usually enjoyed Sheryll Woods novels but I did not find the attachment that I found to some of her other novels. Being a teacher, this story did not seem real. Yes there is bullying in schools, and yes adminstrations and schools have policies in place for anti-bullying; however, this novel took it a step further by bringing in so many other people into it. I think this novel would have been stronger if there was just one plot point, either the story of the teacher or the story of the student. 
This novel is a very easy read, with vocabulary that makes it easy to follow. I suggest this novel for people that do not work in the schools, and or people that want an easy and enjoyable read.

This is my favorite out of the entire series so far. I love how beautifully this book was written. The way bullying was shown. I can’t wait to read the next book. I’m a little sad I’m almost done with this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
