*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...

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

I'll start out by saying that this isn't really my type of book. I don't read a lot of contemporary, especially books that deal with issues, because, frankly, they depress me. 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.

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...
