Sometimes we don’t know what people are facing at home or why they bully, but it will always affect someone. It is important to always remember that we must deal with the consequences of our actions, even if we don’t mean to have something happen. Sometimes what we think will just be words or a harmless punch or two ends up costing us something much more. This book was written well and allowed me to dive into the scenes and feel as though I was right there with the characters. It has been a long time since I’ve cried while reading a book and one part had me crying like a baby. As a mom I feel like I was able to connect with the characters and the hardships they were going through. I think the book does a great job of showing what bullying does to not only a person but to a community. It is also important to listen to people who are being bullied and to step in and help whenever we can. So much heartbreak can be adverted if only we stop and listen. ~ Rating ~ Stay You & Happy Reading,
