This was an enjoyable read, and I think I would try these authors again. They definitely did a great job bringing their voices together. I do like a "dark past" story, but sometimes authors can refer to it too often, which makes the reader feel like screaming "oh my GOSH JUST TELL ME ALREADY," which I felt a teensy bit here. Overall, I was surprised multiple times throughout the book, which is great.

I’ve had this book sitting on my bookshelf for more than a year now and finally after all this time I decided to pick it up and read it. Part One of the book was pretty easy to guess what was going on. Part Two I was confused. And Part Three put everything into perspective and when I say everything I mean everything. Overall it was an okay book not as great as the anonymous girl but still good nonetheless.

Just a lot of domestic and mental abuse as well as terrible backstory’s.
