Synopsis: For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.
Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.
It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.
Review:
*SPOILER FREE*
Once again, Jennifer L. Armentrout writes another outstanding book.
As always, she managed to create a story where you can laugh, smile with several moments, get angry, sad and cry. But most importantly is that you fall in love with every character and you desire to know more and more about every single one of them.
Since this is a spoiler free review, I won't talk about the plot (in this case, things that happened in the book).
I can pick three words that define this book:
- Emotional
- Hopeful
- Inspiring
The way she managed to write about such ''hard'' and emotion filled topics was impressive. Topics like drug dealing, adoption, childhood traumas, death. The story itself sounded so real, so true that when I finished reading it, I started thinking about many things in my life and those who surround me. Like it says in the book, we take things, life mainly, for granted. Nothing lasts forever.
