“If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask… with nothing beneath it?”

4.5 ⭐️

This book is HEAVY but so necessary. I don’t typically read books of this genre but I appreciated how Jodi wrote such an emotionally raw story that connects with the real world. I don’t want to say too much about the characters but all of the different POVs really helped show all sides of a situation as severe as this. 

This is also the first book I’ve read by Jodi and I would like to explore some of her others.
