Rating: 5 out of 5

There really is no way I could rate this any lower than 5 stars. The main character Lo (Logan) was born to a mother that was abusive towards her, told her from a young age how worthless she is and let her fend for herself from an incredibly young age. To be 5 years and having to get yourself off to school is just unthinkable.But Lo was not only abused and mostly forgotten about at home, she also had put up with bullying at school too. Her tormentor at school ended up being her drug supplier and abuser as she grew up.Lo did what any human being would have done in her situation, and that is become a product of her own environment. Lo's self esteem was stolen from her from the moment she was old enough to start to understand the pain her mother was putting her through.This story made me go through so many emotions. Anger, sorrow, empathy, hurt, happiness and many many tears formed behind my eye lids.Congratulations to the writer for not turning this story into something light and fluffy. It was anything but unicorns and pink lemonade.So if you want a story that has raw emotion, sometimes a little difficult to swallow and a lot of moments of OMG, then this is for you.If you want a sweet candy cane filled story, then please over look this because it's not that all.
