Me & Emma by Elizabeth Flock

4.0

I can barely think of the right words to describe my experience reading this book. Reading about the abuse that Caroline suffered hurt my heart. No child should every have to endure anything like that. However, I definitely had an OMG moment near the end when a secret was revealed. I can't believe I didn't pick up on it from near the beginning. I hated the mother and Richard from the very beginning, which I'm sure that's what the author was aiming for. One thing that bothered me while I was reading was not being able to figure out the time period. I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter, but I still would like to know.

Although the the subject matter in the book is heartbreaking, I loved that the story was told from Caroline's point of view. I loved how the story came together. This will definitely be a story that stays with me for a long time.
