*SPOILER ALERT*I try not to write reviews with spoilers because every reader needs to discover books on their own. However, I don't know how I can talk about my experience without giving anything away. So only read this review AFTER you've read the book!A blazing read for me, which was very much app...
As a person who was bullied in junior high, these stories were not shockers. However, they were very poignant and moving and remind us that bullying is far too common in our society. Hearing the story of how some of my favorite authors were bullied was a bit shocking. The resources in the back of...
I love that this anthology exists, but I'm surprised it's taken this long. I'm surprised that bullying still exists, that it still hurts, that it still causes those scars that we can and can't see.

(For instance, there is one story of a male bully who publicly accuses a girl of being a ...

And this book definitely had a sad tone to it, but it was also very sweet. I quickly read through the 224 pages, eager to...
I read this back in September and never reviewed it. Maybe I will read it again and post a review. I just thought of it since I met Jo Knowles at a book signing this week.
This book is really fast read for me. I was able to easily step in to the story cause of the major drama going on. The plot line of this book is simple yet significant.Lots of secrets, floating around revealing themselves one by one that you are hooked on it like a Spanish novella.I love the main ch...
