I felt for Adira and everything she went through, we all have trauma and childhood things we have to face and deal with. However, they should have kept her locked up and made she was treated always. This book could have been better, the annoyance of Adira and her whining at the beginning made me cringe, and the fact she wanted Gabriel so bad was just pathetic. I understand about rejection and what that can do to someone’s mental but honey, grow up, live more, love yourself, get in God, read your Bible, build a prayer life and get it together. We are all responsible for our actions and decisions. I’m glad I finished the book. Overall, it was pretty good. Not the best though!
