This is Lo's story.  It isn't a love story.  There are no Christian Grey's or Travis Maddox's waiting in the wings to swoop in and rescue the girl.  What you will find is a gritty, intense and at times very hard to read life story.From as early as she can remember Lo has been toxic.  She had a crappy life, a non-existent relationship with her mother, friends who did not do right by her and a boy who wouldn't let her go.  She went through life in a drug enhanced trance and didn't know if she would ever come out of it or even if she ever wanted to.  This life was all she knew.I was constantly waiting for the happiness to walk into Lo's life and at one point I though it finally did and then wham.....life slapped her down again.  She did have a glance of what happiness could be but it just wasn't within her reach to grab.  I was glad that Nathan was not so present in this book....I believe that we have to concentrate on Lo's life before we can understand just where he fits in.Throughout this book I found myself wanting to reach out to her.  Wanting to give her a hug.  Just wanting to be a positive in her negative world.Bravo Racquel.  Your writing is superb.  You grab your readers right from the start.  I am so very grateful to the author for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review.  And here it is.....this isn't an easy book to read.  It is intense and down right ugly most of the time, but it is definitely one you won't forget.
