Victoria Jones’s life is not easy. The story begins with her emancipation and shifts back several times to moments of when she was nine and living with Elizabeth. It is this particular time in her life that will shed some light on why she is the way she is: emotionally distant and maker of one crapp...
This book was very good. Really enjoyed reading it. Though to be perfectly honest when I received this in the mail (I won this on goodreads)it didn't really catch my attention at first.

Vanessa Diffenbaugh powerfully depicts the troubled life of an eighteen year old girl emerging into adulthood with major insecurities about how to live. As a protagonist, Victoria fits the build of a flawed ...
I won this ARC via First Reads (many thanks for that).This novel was absolutely wonderful. The central character, Victoria, was abandoned at birth and spent her entire childhood in the foster care system. At the age of 18, she is emancipated and pretty much thrown out into the world, completely un...

After a childhood spent in the foster care system, Victoria is unable to get close to anybody, and her only c...
