First off, I received this book in exchange for an honest review. It has been a very long time since I have read such a poignant, intense and thought provoking story. It was an emotional roller coaster of a read, very powerful and engaging. I am glad I decided to pick it up and become lost in the pages.
In this story our main character Spenser who is 17, is fighting a lot of demons. This is his story and how he strives to overcomes those demons that haunt him everyday. Things like death, bullying, and steroids. A story that makes you realize, as you read, that so many teens and young adults are battling much the same demons as Spenser. And not everyone will reach out for help.
I have never felt such harsh emotions from a book. From every page turn I felt like my emotions were pushed to their limits. Love, hate, fear, and rage to name a few. Such beautiful writing, and beautifully created characters. Such a realistic read with realistic characters that many readers can connect to in one way or another. It all felt so true and real but whether this book is a work of fiction or non-fiction doesn't matter because we all know that so many people in this world today are afflicted as Spenser is.
I recommend this book to everyone because I feel like it needs to be read and it needs to be shared with others.
