This book was so true. The author’s descriptions of a mother’s feelings for older adopted children are more real than I have ever seen written anywhere. The problems written in this book are written with honesty and understanding. Great Job!!! I really appreciate the bibliography and suggested reading and writing at the end.

The publishers who signed off on the short synopsis for this book are the worst. Absolutely nothing in the description prepared me for the author to describe mounting sexual tension between a preteen girl and a 26 year old man. The writing was incredible, I was sucked into the story, while my stomach turned. I..

Story was cool but boring. Narrator was horrible, she sounded sick and her nose was stuffed up. I was hoping it got better, but it didn’t. The whole time I had to try to ignore her nasally voice..
First the narration is marvelous! Each character was brought to life and personalities revealed through the narrators voice. Now onto the meat and potatoes. I enjoyed this book but it also made me cringe in several spots. A heart wrenching story of children exposed to, drugs, sex and abuse quickly becomes grooming, exploitation, statutory rape,..

I had a hard time with the underage nature of this entire story. Maybe for someone it would be a lovely story but I just couldn’t get past the nature of it.
A very classic and sweet Halloween tale, and I’d go so far as to say kind of relatable if you’ve ever felt like you get picked on too much. Well written, well voice acted & Carly-Beth is such a sweetheart!
This author and this book will grab your heart and bring you through every known emotion. As a side note: Muddus is my hero. She overcomes her fears and moves forward, trying to solve a mystery. And she does it in such a way I was cheering and laughing.

Good story line however all events in the story were predictable. I have read other Meissner books that were great, this was a disappointment.
This one is definitely well done but strange. So wrong but so right. I kind of want to listen again. Recommend maybe?
I couldn’t even finish it. You can’t convince me that a 28 yr old in a sexual relationship with a 13 yr old is beautiful. Not in any way shape or form. Don’t bother with this one.
