Oh, this was tough to read. It's so well written, I was nearly scared to get to each next page because I knew it would be upsetting.
At times, I found myself really not liking Vanessa but then having to remind myself that the way she's thinking and acting are her ways of coping with the traumatic events that happened to her.
Rating books like this, I always feel weird about because it's sickening to read, but it really shows the horrible truth of what can happen. Even in a place where you're supposed to be safe.
