This story really makes you go through a range of emotions. Love, sadness, loss, anger… It’s all there. After a few chapters, I became hooked and didn’t want to put it down.

The story is from the point of view of girl named Jacinta Kelly. It starts off with Jacinta coming back to Ireland after being gone for 6 years due to the death of her mother. Then, through a series of flashbacks to different key points in her life, you learn about the difficult past she had while growing up. After losing her father at a young age, her mother became withdrawn and depressed. Jacinta was separated from her mother for 2 years while her mother got treatment, but her mother was just never the same. Top that off with being bullied, becoming distant from her best friend, falling in love and the constant abuse from her mother. This is a girl who has gone through a whole lot in a ten year period of her life.

The author did a wonderful job with his story and I would highly recommend it to any and all of my friends.
