WOW
It's now 3am in Australia and I couldn't put this book down until I finished this book.
Let me begin by saying how silly I am (that's putting it nicely), I have had this book staring at me in my library for months and months and I give my self a massive slap on the forehead for not starting this sooner.
Where to start what an amazing story, the way the author wrote this story was fantastic. There's not many books I can say, I have wanted to cry, get angry, get so frustrated with the main character Lily but also feel so sorry for her. I just loved Lily and how many times I was screaming in my head at her to just go just get the hell out.
I loved her best friends Liam and Shayne they were fantastic characters as well.
To stuttering Max goodness me loved loved loved him, I'd take one of him if he walked into my local cafe.
If you into books with a strong as hell main character, that comes from the lowest of lows to come out on top and you don't mind violent abuse and crazy family's then you have to read this book if you haven't already.
Thank you Margaret McHeyzer firstly for keeping me up all night, thank you for providing a book with so many feels in the best possible way. I am so glad I finally read this and now can't wait to read your other books 5++++

From the moment I picked it up, this book became a gripping force in my life. Its message landed with a powerful punch and left an indelible mark on my heart. It illuminated critical lessons, teaching us how to be strong and stand up for ourselves amidst adversity. But perhaps the most crucial reminder was that we are worthy of love, and no one should ever make us feel otherwise. I need to keep looking forward, and live. Lily's story resonated deeply within me. She endured unimaginable abuse, pain and abandonment from those who were supposed to protect her. Yet through her struggles, she emerged as a symbol of strength and humility. This book deftly navigates heavy themes of abuse and domestic violence with delicate tact and grace. It reveals the true nature of good and evil in our world, exposing the insidious power of brainwashing and manipulation. But amidst all the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope - that even in the darkest situations, love can prevail. Through its powerful storytelling, this book opens our eyes to the realities of emotional abuse and its destructive consequences. The characters are intricately crafted, from the protagonists who inspire us to the villains who captivate us with their twisted ways. Lily's journey from a timid victim to a tenacious survivor is both heartbreaking and empowering. The author masterfully portrays the damaging effects of emotional abuse through Lily's character, leaving a lasting impact on readers long after they turn the final page. Overall, kudos to the author for crafting such a poignant and thought-provoking tale.
