There are books you read for escapism. There are books you read for entertainment. Then there are the rare books that make you cringe with their raw power and their unflinching truth. Precise is the last type of book. Rebecca Berto strips your emotions down to the bare soul. She does not promise "pretty" with this story. Rebecca Berto will grip you with this story. Her characters are not cut from cookie-cutter fiction. Her characters are carved out of the raw truth of survival. The story deals with a taboo topic but one only too common in every walk of life: Family Abuse. But Rebecca's characters are gritty and true to life. These are not Hollywood characters with perfect lives. These are people anyone, you or I, can relate to. What I loved about this story was that Rebecca refused to pull any punches or sugar-coat the ugly truth of abusive behaviour. But above all this story is a tale of survival and hope. Read this story with a ready heart and an open mind. Let Rebecca and her main character, Katie, tell you a story that will leave you thinking.Looking forward to the next chapter in Katie's life and cannot wait to see where Rebecca takes her.*I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.*
