Oh how I loved this book so so much. And the farther along in the book I got, the more I loved it.
Cassie was committed to an in patient mental care facility as a teenager. Except, she wasn't mentally ill. This debut novel looks at childhood abuse in a new and unique way. The authors use of words is beautiful and poetic. Sometimes I re-read a line just because it was so poignant.
I was taken with the family life Kletter created and how well she shows the shattering affects of mental illness, childhood abuse, and identity in teens. Because of the language throughout and one sexually charged scene, I'm not ready for my middle schooler to read it. But, once she's in high school, it'd be great to read.
