I'd definitely recommend against reading this one, then. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!Dzejn_Crvena wrote: โ04 Jul 2021, 02:47 Thank you for your warning.
This story is very heart-wrenching to read, and I'm not ready to feel strong negative emotions right now.
But opening up about past trauma can be therapeutic at times.
Congratulations on your published review!

The author's story is sadly a very unfortunate one. I'd advise reading if you're emotionally ready for it. Thank you for stopping by!

That's true, and I hope that those who haven't found the courage to share their stories yet are healing in their own way. Thank you for the comment!Josephe-Anne wrote: โ09 Jul 2021, 19:27 After years of surviving trauma and abuse, it's encouraging to see people trying to heal and share their stories.
Thank you for an excellent review.

I'm glad you finished the book! It took me almost a month to finish reading because of how distressed I got over the events of the book at times.

Indeed, although Bridget acted like the people around her, she was very innocent and naive. Thank you for the comment!markodim721 wrote: โ12 Jul 2021, 14:55 I think that the contrast between a girl with a pure soul and the harsh reality of life is especially strong. Thanks for the great review.

I definitely get you. I love reading about other people's experiences, but the things the author went through really haunted me. Thank you for leaving a comment!Saint Bruno wrote: โ12 Jul 2021, 16:58 While I commend victims of abuse for the courage to come out with their stories, I sometimes don't like how they make me feel. However, I sure this story would inspire the target audience. Thanks a lot for the amazing review.

Definitely! I kept getting really sad and disappointed when I remember that Bridget had no "knight in shining armor" to rescue her from her situation. It's definitely heartbreaking. Thank you for the compliment and comment!Nqobile771 wrote: โ14 Jul 2021, 06:36 It sounds like this book needs one to be mentally and emotionally ready. But if the sharing her story helped in her healing journey, it is worth reading and I hope other victims will be inspired and also find their voice and healing. Beautiful review!
