Resilient
Overall this book was ok, it really showcases the cruelty we humans can show to each other.. being a victim myself of bullying, this definitely resonated - I had no idea PVZ went through this and I feel for her, that type of treatment can cause so many issues within us & she shared her story, warts and all.. I would have liked to here these boys were charged as they should pay for what they did... this book ended pretty abruptly leaving a lot of unanswered questions as well as it seems to leave a lot of her "story" out.. her fall from fighting grace, her decision to do OF and what that was like considering her past and what she has endured, seems kinda counter intuitive. overall though, I enjoyed the book, it held my interest, glad to see she did in fact rise above all the negativity and cruelty.
