I started reading this book, before I knew what the plot was. I was genuinely surprised when Mr. Smith changed. Like Phoenix, I was surprised when his abuse started. I like how the author made sure the reader was clued in about the time Phoenix was. It felt like you were right alongside her--- experiencing the abuse with her. Like her I was upset that her mother didn't believe her and instead was too enamored with the new relationship. I was glad her sister had more gumption than she did. I really did like the book!
