Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
I stopped listening halfway through because I was so disgusted with the whole situation of a child being portrayed as a sexual character. I can’t leave a book unfinished so I finished the book. I get it that the author is telling a story that is uncomfortable, but the fact that she had to continually..
An absolutely amazing book! Seeing all of the different perspectives and stories with similar core values and recommendations on what it takes to be successful made me astonished with this book.

Such a true representation of how people make decisions and the effects of those decisions on others. Strength of character. Best book I’ve read in a long time. Ms. Greenwood stayed true to her characters the whole way thru – well done!!

I really tried to give this book a chance. I had to turn it off because it appears like it’s making the act of an adult grooming a child to be normal and even sweet. The adult gets butterflies when interacting with the child and repeatedly talks about the child touching parts of him (stomach,..
