First, let me begin by saying that the narrator was excellent! Not sure if the book has been re-recorded, but her voice sounded very normal. It might be due to me growing up in the Midwest where most people have nasalized voices, or so I have been told 😉. This was a well written story that truly was impossible to stop listening to. I listened for 12 hours straight. It is a reminder that people, parents and middle school and high school teachers, really do need to help students who are bullied and those doing the bullying. I counted almost 10 lives that were tragically affected by one insecure teen age girl who was given free reign to form a posse. That her selfish needs continue into her adulthood is somewhat realistic. What is questionable is Shawna’s relationship with her daughter. Recommendation is high for this one!
