**I have received this complimentary book from the author for an honest review** Such an emotional Story! Such a beautiful way to show how bullying effects a teen... even though with recent things that have happened ... people are still oblivious to the feelings of a person, whether they are a teen, child, or adult. Bullying has no age group,it's not racist, it's not prejudice, it doesn't have a preference to whether you are rich or poor. TH Snyder showed us that in this book with Eighteen year old Zar. She lives in Des Moines, Iowa; she's pretty, was a cheerleader, parents are doctors, All-American athlete older brother. Everything looks perfect in her life except her Goth clothes, Goth bedroom, her Panic attacks that occur. Something major happened in Zar's life Five years before, it caused her to close up to change.. because of that "something" she gets picked on and bullied which only makes things worse for her. Here she starts her Senior year of high school, just trying to blend in so no one will notice you isn't easy especially when everyone knows who you are. After her first day of school Zar needs to breathe so she heads out Ames, Iowa .. about a 45 min drive .. she ends up at a pizza place, that is where she meets the boy who will change her life ;) Loudon is an All-American boy, he is also Allie's brother .. now Allie is Zeke's Fiancee  ..Zeke is Zar's older brother. Zar coincidentally runs into Loudon not knowing who he is. "OH SORRY... I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION... SORRY." " HEY, IT'S COOL. NO WORRIES, REALLY. I KIND OF DID CREEP UP ON YOU." WELL THANKS FOR NOT CURSING ME OUT." "DOLL, REALLY, IT'S OKAY."  Well needless to say .. Loudon.. He's tall, green eyes, brown hair, athletic, dreamy......(sorry) but ya hes a hottie! Can he help Zar? Can he make her see and pull her out of her darkness? " I NEED YOU TO NEED ME ZAR." LOUDON", I CRY," TAKE AWAY MY PAIN." "ZAR, TALK TO ME. LET ME BE THE ONE TO PULL YOU OUT OF THE DARKNESS." I love Loudon's patience with Zar helping her through everything.... it melts my heart. Gosh TH you hit my memories and emotions right on the head!! Except my Loudon didn't come till I was out of high school ;) This book has my heart melted, torn, sewed up, and torn again.. I love it! I love the realness.. Th Snyder you get 5 stars!! I want to personally thank you for writing this beautiful book and bringing this to light <3 ~Chris
