Well, I'm quiet enjoying this book. The deeper story is that we have these two young adults that are trying to live life after being removed from a terrible situation that they were in for thirteen years. That was pretty much their entire lives. The story is told through the girl's point of view. Her name is Mallory and she had to go through intensive therapy to get past her situation. She even ended up getting adopted by a loving family that were also doctors that had taken care of her when she ended up in the hospital with some major injuries. I will not say what the situation they were in but it is a trigger warning with this book. This book does talk about child abuse and SA. Like I said these kids didn't grow up in the best environment and this book basically talks about how they coped with it after no longer being in that situation. With Mallory being adopted by doctors, she was provided with the best. She got the help she needed and was very loved by her adoptive parents. Now the other person focused in this story wasn't as lucky. Mallory was mostly protect by a boy that was her age in the situation and his name is Rider. Rider ended up at a group home until he found a foster family to take care of him until he turns eighteen. He works hard but he is also living on the rough side of town. Rider grew up thinking that he wasn't worth anything and that nothing was expected of him other than the bare minimum. Like I said, I really like the concept. The book so far is a solid three stars. I will have to read if it will gain that one star to be the first four star in this journey. But we will just have to find out.
So until next time....
