There is no sugar coating this, Worth It by Nicki DeStasi is not for the faint of heart.  This book starts off running and I kid you not you will run the entire way through it.  I'm still sweating and trying to catch my breath.I implore you to read the synopsis and take heed of the warnings.  This is a tough story to read.  There are things that happened that even I had a hard time grasping and I'd like to think I'm pretty tough.  The things that Anna goes through are more than any one human being should EVER have to endure.  I don't know how she functions day to day let alone hold down a job and go to college.  But bless her heart she does it.  Talk about a strong woman and she doesn't even know it.When Jed comes into her life I was seriously worried.  I didn't think she needed him.  I hoped she would stay far away.  I was too worried about where this interaction might go.  My poor Anna needs to heal BIG TIME.  She can't take anymore.  I can't take anymore.Jed.  That man.He's so sweet.  And patient.  And kind.  And protective.  He likes her.  He likes her likes her.  My mood shifted a bit with the way Anna responded to Jed.  I had a glimmer of hope for both of them.  Only Jed has a short temper so just when I would get comfortable, I would be thrown right back into my sea of despair.  Right along with Anna I might add.If you can handle the deep shit this book offers.  DEEP I tell ya.  Then you MUST add this to you TBR.  This is going to be big hit.  You need to hear Anna's story.The ending will rip your heart out and stomp all over it.  I still can't get it out of my head.  I never saw it coming.  As I was digesting the words my brain was screaming "no effing way!" "no she didn't (the author)!!".  Then I had to fight those darn tears.It's been a while since I've read a story that riled me up.  I'd been missing that feeling so thank you Nicki.  I need it and even though I feel like I've been to hell and back it was totally WORTH IT!*A copy of this book was kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
