it was amazing

This book for me was a real eye opener not only does it make you appreciate growing up with a normal background and having loving parents and a wonderful childhood but it shows you that there are sick and twisted people in the world who will manipulate young people to feel superior. the shocking truth of this book is somewhat scaring but the way it is written you can hear the shouts feel the pain and understand the emotions going through the young Antoinette’s head and that of the older Toni. I am only thirteen so when I read this a lot of it i can relate to by that I mean being afraid of change, mistaking people for who they are not but wanting so badly for them to be who you imagine in your head. Not wanting to face the truth as it hurts too much.

This book is a great contribution to how modern day life can be so evilly twisted and screwed up with harsh intent.
on a finishing note of what I learnt from this book and what I will always remember I will say this
Not every book is a fairytale and not every story has a happy ending.

Zach Smith i have yet to see an adult who doesn't manipulate younger people to feel superior in at least some small subconscious way. and thats ok. and thats ok. but there's a line between whats acceptable human nature and people who do to much damage to be safely included in our society. like the characters in this book probably. though i haven't read it
