I knew it would be bad…

…but I didn’t think my family would abandon me.

I don't understand my foster parents any more. How can they promise to love everyone at church but choose to hate me because I'm different?

The social worker told me to keep my chin up, but I don’t know if I’m headed for the streets or the orphanage on the other side of town. Wherever I go, I won’t let them discover my dirty little secret. I can’t risk telling them the truth everyone hates about me.

I wish I could take it back. I wish I'd never fallen in love with my best friend, Cameron.

An interesting read with lots of ups and downs

4 stars

Quite a lot of ups and downs in this book. Didn’t expect how things would end up at the beginning but it was rather beautifully done—despite the horrific topic. The middle was a bit difficult to read since there was a lot of repetition of Skyler’s story, which for real-life made sense but could’ve been shortened in the book—after all, the reader knows all of this. Otherwise generally speaking it was a book I quite enjoyed and it made me interested in the rest of the series.
