Rising to the top means that you have to lie, cheat, and steal to get there. This country was built on hierarchy status. Those at the top of the ladder lives by a code of privilege which dictates how those below them are treated. So many people in this world are self-centered and out for only themselves.

- Latest Review: Something About Ann by J. Everett Prewitt
There are still many things we can work on, that's true. For example, there is a passage early in the book where Sophie and her best friend defend this woman against an attack from, seemingly, the woman's partner. Domestic violence is still something we need to talk more about, but I believe the way we view it has changed a lot. Victims are not as afraid as that woman in the book was to speak up - and that's a good thing.
I hold hope for the future, really. We are going through some turbulent times at the moment, but who hasn't, in the history of humanity? I think we should look at the attitudes presented in this book and see what improved, but also what else can be worked on.
