    About this audiobook

    From New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young comes a “tremendously moving” (Booklist) novel about a girl struggling to deal with anger issues while taking care of her younger brother with special needs.

    “Anger-management issues.”

    That’s how they classified Savannah Sutton after she drove a pencil into her ex-boyfriend’s hand because he mocked her little brother, Evan, for being disabled. That’s why they sent her to Brooks Academy—an alternative high school that’s used as a temporary detention center.

    The days at Brooks are miserable, but at home, life is far more bleak. Savvy’s struggling to take care of her brother since her mom left years ago, and her alcoholic dad can’t be bothered. Life with Evan is a constant challenge, but he’s also the most important person in the world to Savvy.

    Then there’s Cameron, a new student at Brooks with issues of his own; a guy from a perfect family that Savvy thought only existed on TV. Cameron seems determined to break through every one of the walls Savvy’s built around herself, except if she lets herself trust him, it could make everything she’s worked so hard for fall apart in an instant.

    And with her aunt seeking custody of her brother and her ex-boyfriend seeking revenge, Savvy’s fighting to hold all the pieces together. But she’s not sure how much tighter she can be pulled before she breaks completely.

      Okay, I needed to wipe my tears from my eyes before starting to write this review. God, where to start? I completely loved this book. From the characters to the story in general, even the subplots, it is raw and drenched with emotions that will send you to a rollercoaster from Chapter 1. This one goes, undoubtedly, next to my other favorites.
    • 5/5
      This was an amazingly well written and narrated book. I love this author and this book only encouraged my interest in finding more. This book brought all of the feels to the surface and tackled some very tough subjects in very tasteful ways. I don't tend to read a lot of standalone books because I like getting invested in characters more but I will definitely be reading/listening to anything and everything by suzanne young. Well worth the read!
    • 3/5
      Man, why did I read this? This has good prose, great narration but the story is a bummer. It's all about a hard-luck teen girl and her hard life and bleak future. Not my idea of a good escape. What stings more is that there is no redemption in sight for the MCs just for a bit of joy for the reader. It's bleak and bleak.
