This is one of those novellas that catch you right from the get go and don't let go. You also forget that you are reading a novella rather than an actual novel. It is so well and fully developed that it really tells a whole story. This story didn't just bring tears to my eyes, it made me cry.With this novel Anton brings verbal abuse to the forefront in a shockingly vivid way. She takes a hard hitting subject and turns it into a brilliant tale of surviving, overcoming, and loving. She also doesn't mince words and really puts it out there. She also shows the topic in vivid realism and clarity. Characters involved react in realistic ways. But above all, she shows how difficult it can be to overcome the situation in a story that keeps you captivated.The characters in this novella were extremely well developed. I couldn't believe how real each and every one of them became. I also appreciated how Anton develops each to fit their role in the story as well as their backgrounds, both sociologically and culturally. I love how the author switches perspectives from character to character, giving the reader everyone's point of view. It really adds to the impact of the story.This was a phenomenal novella that I couldn't put down. I was so wrapped up in the lives of the characters that I didn't want it to end, but yet was thrilled with the ending. It was the perfect story.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review
