Where do I even start? This book is well-thought out from the first page, to the very last. Nicole's journey is something that many people can relate to, even if you haven't been through her exact story. Regardless of your experience, this book will fill you with such a sense of empathy that you want to reach out and wrap your arms around Nicole. As a survivor myself, I felt so seen. This book is about more than a young girl who goes through a traumatic event. It is empowering, overcoming, and raw. As I was reading Melissa's book, I was in awe that this was her debut novel, I felt as if I was reading the book of a New York Time's Bestseller. The writing is phenomenal and is very clearly laid out, so you are not left scratching your head. It is filled with just the right amount of nuance to keep you guessing until the end. Give this book a read, I promise you won't regret it. I am beyond excited to see what Melissa comes up with in the future!

Loved it! It was a compelling story that I just couldn’t put down! The main character Nicole is very relatable-she’s honest and inspiring and seems like a close friend or sister. This book is about the journey after a traumatic event and ultimately how someone can find the inner strength to keep moving forward. Melissa Trombetta writes in a way that lets you make an emotional investment in the characters while addressing a societal (and all too common) problem that is difficult to discuss. Definitely recommend!
