Publisher's summary

To save her life, she must risk her heart....

For 18-year-old Sidney Shaw, life pretty much sucks. Her mom's a drunk. Her dad's worse. At school, she's bullied by her ex-best friend. And cutting no longer brings the relief she craves.

When Sidney is forced into group counseling, she meets perfect, popular Arianna, the type of girl who grieves over a broken nail. But Arianna has secrets of her own. She might prove herself a friend - if Sidney can let her guard down. Then, there's Lucas, the sweet and funny new guy who sees straight through her tough, snarky facade.

But Sidney's wounds go deeper than anyone knows. When her secrets threaten to unravel her, Sidney must choose. How far is she willing to go to protect her family? And who can she turn to when the unthinkable happens?

Contains mature themes.

Best book I’ve heard.

I liked that this went to such detail about dealing with pain, physical and psychological and that those who will listen can help. It made me sad, but hopeful.

this was such a deeply emotional experience. there were times I wanted to yell at Sidney because her sarcasm and anger was so much butter thewholething I just wanted to hug her and thank her for the bravery she didn't know she had.

Emotional and raw

The book is about such a difficult, but all too common, form of violence toward young women. It was very well written and I loved how the main character was supported and helped onto the road to recovery. Well narrated also!

A brave and unapologetic novel.

The redemptive process found in this novel is as raw as it is honest. This story hurt my heart, but it was worth the pain to gain a glimpse into situations I have not experienced. This story will stay with me for a long time.

Very dark issues told in a non or less-explicit manner.

Of course I don't like that bad things happen to people, especially children. But they do happen and I think this book helps us to understand, empathize, and maybe even identify when someone is experiencing situations outside of our experience. And I like that good wins over evil in the end. The narration was excellent too!

Very powerful book. One of Kyla Stone's best.

Love Kyla Stone's books especially the post apocalyptic ones. Decided to give this a try and couldn't stop listening. Very deep and powerful. Very true and thought provoking. The Narrator did an EXCELLENT job. Her narration made me feel like I was experiencing this story and had me in tears so many times. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the good work, Kyla. We need more books like this.

Emotionally evoking

The story evoked a lot of painful feelings unfelt for a very long time. The story concluded with hopeful realities. I’m glad I pushed through to the end.

Thought provoking

This is a story that everyone should read. So many of our kids are facing problems they do not share. Some would if they knew how many other kids are hiding their own monsters.
Thank you for bringing light to subjects others shy away from.

Not easy to listen to, but I couldn't stop

Heartbreaking story, but one that needs to be told. Although at times it was difficult to listen to, I was thoroughly invested and couldn't stop. The narrator, Caitlin Kelly, delivered an outstanding performance.
