I just really loved this book, it's so raw and has a lot of dark elements to it, but I got so attached to the characters. So glad to see it on here! - TashaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335219443113802041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-41583871859032355852018-05-13T02:51:28.531+01:002018-05-13T02:51:28.531+01:00That must have been some middle for you to like th...That must have been some middle for you to like this one with a meh start and end.

One where I have to make assumptions about a set of circumstances just don't do it for me I'm afraid.<br /><br />I do like the title of the book however and I'm sure that alone will probably attract plenty of attention and interest!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekedn :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-42916174331714193332018-05-11T22:49:45.959+01:002018-05-11T22:49:45.959+01:00The animal cruelty would put me off.
You wrote “...The animal cruelty would put me off. <br /><br />You wrote “they would rather die than let their parents know what is going on in their lives.” That does sound like a realistic description of some teenagers :) Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-33008922817337505402018-05-11T20:04:47.290+01:002018-05-11T20:04:47.290+01:00Oooh, this sounds intriguing.

The plot sounds quite good... but you did surprise me by saying you enjoyed it, despite the slow and not-so-good ending. And that lack of conclusion puts me off some. Maybe if I happen across it somewhere...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-87851797392095974262018-05-11T15:15:51.417+01:002018-05-11T15:15:51.417+01:00Not sure I could read this if there's animal c...Not sure I could read this if there's animal cruelty, but I was intrigued by the opening, the blurb, and your thoughts on it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731930823596505781noreply@blogger.com
