A short intense read about anxiety and abuse, told from a teenager's perspective. These topics are unpleasant to read about, however the brave actions of the characters provide hope that by confiding in others a change for the better can and will happen! Thanks NetGalley for an advance copy 😊

This is a story with very complex problems experienced by teenagers. Anxiety, rejection, abusive relationships, violence, pregnancy outside of marriage for teenagers are realities that often occur around us. This book seems to represent what is in real life.

Not Enough
by Ada Brooks
Description
Shortly before graduation, high school senior, Rose Riley Moon struggles with unbridled anxiety whilst navigating through the most turbulent and trying week of her life. In an increasingly abusive relationship with her intoxicatingly handsome boyfriend, Devin Miller, Rose becomes pregnant and endures unexpected rejection, violence, and, after a dark secret is brought to light, debilitating pain. Rose leans on her irresponsible and pregnant best friend, Gabby Thomas, for emotional support, self-medication for escape, her co-worker, Penny, to confide in, and—despite a temporary letdown—her mother, Randy Moon, for support and unconditional love. It’s a wicked puzzle …
I enjoyed the book, Rose Reiley Moon is abused by Devin Miller. Devin is an evil devil. No matter hows hard she tries to get help from other people, she is let down. She does what she must, and I felt so bad that her story ended the way it had to. Heartbreaking at times. I want to help here, scream at anyone to help Rose.
