Convince us to read the book: I loved this book because it was unpredictable and thrilling. The character development was amazing! It continued throughout the book, but in a good way. The events in the book shaped the characters, they never stopped changing. It was a very action packed book, but emotional action. It was very unique, I haven't read anything like it.
Memorable or Forgettable: I would say the emotional action was the biggest one. I also think that when she saw this little girl at the hospital who the hospital suspected was abused. She helped the girl realize that it was okay to tell. So she saw herself in this girl. That this girl had the same fight she did. It was memorable.
Cover: It was a very weird cover. The only thing that made me look at this book is the sulking girl off to the side.
