First, I have to start this with Thank you, [a:Susan Colasanti|6563928|Susan Colasanti|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg], for putting your personal letter at the end of this book. It's touching and just perfect. And then followed it up with resources and information!! You are wonderful! thank you!
the first 150 pages of this book are a sheer act of willpower to read. it's so painful to read about the bullying, the lack of food, sleep or a normal loving parent. The lack of support at school or anyone to hear her cry out - if she did, if she could.
FINALLY, at about 150 pages, she switches from being victimized and starts living - starts taking the reins of her life back and running the show.
it was so nice that the book switched. If it hadn't, I don't think I could have finished it. I know good doesn't prevail all the time, but a book where the bad people get to win over and over - jeez, even the bad guys lose sometimes.
and it's always nice to see when they do! I loved Julian :)
