Jennifer Bossio's narration of this book was spot on perfection!
This is my extended review
Kara was a wonderful character to get to know and we get to know her through a series of diary entries. Kara went with her heart when she chose to be with bad boy Danny. She spends years in an abusive relationship. As I read this book, it mirrored the life of one of my girlfriends from when I was in my twenties. It was heartbreaking to read or in my case to listen to Kara tell of her abuse. She's a victim of domestic violence and had been for years and only she can get herself out of this vicious cycle as she no longer has any friends but one.
She loves with her whole heart and you'll see that throughout the entire book. We see Kara experience many ups and downs and we meet a wide cast of characters as Kara pieces together her new life. Poor Kara, every time we think that shes found something good, something else happens and she gets the proverbial rug pulled out from under her more than once, but shes resilient. There are so many twists and turns in this book that I don't want to give anything away.
I think that writing this book as a series of journal entries was a brilliant idea. It gives us a unique perspective of how our main character Kara thinks. The ending was fantastic and it made my heart leap for joy!
Just believe me when I say that you will enjoy this book. It'll make you mad, it'll make you gasp and it'll even make you cry. But in the end everything comes together! In a way, Diane Rose Duffy took a piece of my own heart with this book.
