"Great follow up to Good girl, Bad girl. The story was so enthralling I didnt want to put it down and the background that was revealed about the characters and advancement of the storyline was so satisfying. "

"Decent story with likable characters. I probably would have liked the book more, had I read the first one, so giving it 3 stars may be an unfair rating. I wish it would have been clearly shown on the cover to be a "Book 2." I always felt like I was missing a fundamental element of the storyline and it wasn't until I was 250 pages in that I realized I should have read "Good Girl, Bad Girl" first. "

"An amazing read from start to finish. "

"Michael challenges your mind in many ways. So much sympathy is formed for the girl in a terrible situation. Some chapters are hard to read through due to the girls hardships and realization of what has made her so numb, anxious and untrusting. The reader is twisted into the different Psychology and viewpoints in the book and will never see the ending come. It is a long read but sucks your attention to this girl’s childhood and how she reacts because of it."

"I struggled in the beginning it just wasn’t keeping my attention. By midbook I got into it and I finished it in one seating. Tragic, sad but hopeful. I liked it but I would not say this is a must read. "
