I got this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I liked this book. I think it was very engaging and a quick, easy read. Although there were a few issues with the editing such as repeat lines of the title and the Author's name throughout the book which kept me from giving it a higher rating.
In this book we have Edie and her mom on the run from Edie's dad constantly. They finally settle in London hoping for a better life. Things are not going well for Edie because of bullies in school, and bad teachers. Things only get worse when Edie's mom doesn't come home from her job. Now alone and scared, Edie must decide what to do.
The premise of the story was pretty good although it is not really anything new in the book world. I do think it is a very believable story for most readers and it was engaging as well. There was a lot going on in the book though, and I felt like there were scenes that did not really need to be there.
The characters felt a little incomplete and a little more back story would have helped in that area I think. I wanted to know more about our characters Edie and Jermaine. I think they could have been a little better developed than they were, but other than that I liked both of their characters.
