Wow! I do not know if I have any words for this review, so I apologise as this might just a short review. How about we talk about the weather….or the gorgeous book cover??

Wow! Oh wait, I have said that already… need another word…

So, I think I need to go and buy some tissues, as I used way too many reading this book. I love books that can teach you something and this book has done that. I did not know there was an act in place in USA, the Chemical endangerment code in Alabama, so it was very eye opening!

Annie’s and Lexie’s story was a tough one to read, fleeting back in the past to their childhood, what happened to them with Annie and the present day and the current situation we find them in with Lexie. I do enjoy books where you have the different POV’s and in different time periods to get the bigger picture, as harrowing as it can be.

This book will stick with you once you have reads the final pages, and you digest what has been written, the emotions all flying about your head and pages, leaving you open and raw. So many issues are covered in the book, from loyalty and love to the darkness of addiction. I lost my dad to an addiction, (not drugs) but it is hard to read anything about it. As much as you want to understand why they become addicts, it is hard for the people outside living through it too.

Right, I am off to buy some more tissues…..not because I am going to cry or anything *ahem*
