entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wish-list and onto our
wonderful shelves.

An
unflinching story of a troubled friendship — and one girl’s struggle to come to
terms with secrets and shame and find her own power to heal.
Leah Greene is dead. For Laine, knowing what really happened and the awful feeling that she is, in some way, responsible set her on a journey of painful self-discovery. Yes, she wished for this. She hated Leah that much. Hated her for all the times in the closet, when Leah made her do those things. They were just practicing, Leah said. But why did Leah choose her? Was she special, or just easy to control? And why didn’t Laine make it stop sooner? In the aftermath of the tragedy, Laine is left to explore the devastating lessons Leah taught her, find some meaning in them, and decide whether she can forgive Leah and, ultimately, herself.

This looks
like such an interesting book. I haven’t heard anything about it which makes me
want to read it even more. I love going into a book with no expectations. That
way I can’t be disappointed. This sounds like it will probably be one of those “deep
reads”. Which I tend to like.
Have you read this book yet? What are
your thoughts on it?
This sounds interesting and seems to be an emotional read. Hope you'll like it when you get it! :)

I have yet to read a book that made me cry so I hope this one doesn't. Obviously it would be pretty good if it did though.
