Wow! This book was so good! I picked it up because I heard it was a Carrie retelling. I adore Tiffany D Jackson's works and I think this one is my favorite so far. It envoked so much emotion. Tears, but mostly anger. I had to step away from the book a few times because I was so angry. I enjoyed this retelling more than the original.
