So many emotions.
At first I was upset with Edy for not speaking out about what happened right away allowing all that anger, fear and sadness to build up. Edy became what everyone else said she was because of her pain. I hated she slept with so many guys but understand she wanted to feel control over her own situations. This was her way of finding control. I understand that 100%.
I disliked Amanda, Kevin’s sister spreading a “slut” rumor about Edy. People put their input when they have no clue.
I was going to say more but I need time to process this book.
