Holy f-n moses...I don't know exactly what to say about this book yet..there were times I wanted to DNF, not seeing how anything could come of what I was experiencing and times when I wanted to crawl in my kindle and live everything first hand. The kind of tale that wraps tightly around your heart and changes the way you perceive things that seem one way.

I knew nothing of the story when I decided to click it...only knowing I had seen a lot of hype about it in my newsfeeds. This doesn't always go over well with me, but I thought what the hell? I don't regret it at all, thankful I took the plunge and experienced this myself.

It's not an easy read, parts of it still don't make sense to me, but over all the message of choose love over EVERYTHING else, don't let revenge, hate or anything negative pave your way left me breathless and completely captivated. A prisoner myself, enslaved in the lives of two people that experienced more devastation in their youth than most people do in a lifetime. At the end of it all was a smile wide enough to let love through, and with time it would shine bright enough to light even the darkest of souls. LOVED IT!!
