 I LISTENED ON LIBBY THROUGH MY LIBRARY



Saskia Maarleveld was superb in this role...her narration brought out the atmosphere of this story perfectly of which the author has set the stage for most superbly herself.

A well-written story about a girl who is sort of mistakenly discovered at a casting call at her high school and how when someone she should've been able to trust takes advantage of her in the worse way possible...that started when she was only just a child.  Of how it screwed with her head...turned her into someone she never met to be and made her feel like she could never dig her way out.  All while being famous and having the whole world watching and waiting.
