Rating: 5 out of 5

My Gawd that was gutwrenching & intense. The fact that this stuff actually happens makes it so much worse. This book deals with some really sensitive subjects and harsh realities. Rape is a heinous awful shredding of innocence and this book deals with not only what the victim suffers but the fall out and effects it has on everyone else as well. It was disturbing to say the least, grab some tissues and hug your loved ones, this book will stay with you for a long time. An amazing group of characters, you will feel a connection with at least one of them if not all.-Melanie's struggle will bring you to your knees. She really was an amazing girl with a huge heart, and a survivor.-Jordan's journey was no less heartbreaking. Against all odds I found myself crying for her and hoping for the best. In the beginning you won't like her much but she will definitely crawl into your heart by the end.-Will is truly an amazing guy. You don't really think about how something like this would affect the boyfriend/son until you read this. His love and support for Melanie while struggling on his own was absolutely stunning, just beautiful.I'm not gonna lie, some of this book will be very hard to get through. Not due to any faults by the author, but the content alone is devastating at times. Katie Ashley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, her characters just slam themselves into our heads and imprint on our hearts.I cannot recommend this book loudly enough, I strongly suggest, make it an urgent plea-Go Get This Book!! It will change the way you think about things.
