Another book from Ellen Hopkins that I couldn’t put down. Her stories are always so real and this one was as well- being based on a true event from her own life.
In this novel we meet Ariel who lives with her often volatile father who seems to keep a short leash on her making her feel like a possession instead of a daughter. Why does he do this though? It’s a question she’s asked herself many times. And soon enough she is blind sided by an event that shakes her to her core and leaves her questioning who she is. Another excellent novel from Ellen Hopkins!
I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Candace Thaxton, Rebekkah Ross, and Kirby Heyborne. Need I say more – all are excellent narrators and brought this story fully alive in my mind.

I love Hopkins’ books too!
Hopkins does write some pretty good books! Glad you enjoyed it.
This sounds like it would be a real treat to listen to. Excellent, enthusiastic, and concise review, Darlene!
somewhere on my bookshelves I have one of Hopkins books – need to get to it, don’t I?
