As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fianc , she's this close to living the perfect life she's worked so hard to achieve.

But Ani has a secret.

There's something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything.

Don’t waste your time

This book sucks. I had to force myself to even finish it. Very boring and slow

pretty good!

had some good unexpected parts, went into it blind so was pleasantly surprised with the twists and turns. wouldn’t read again but a good book overall

I read it

I am not sure how I felt. I read it all the way through. I finished it, not my favorite read.

Love

This very quickly became one of my favorite books. Frankly, I have no idea what anyone who says the main character isn't likeable is talking about. First off, I don't think she has to be likeable to be compelling. Why should I only read about characters that I LIKE? Why can't I also read about characters that are annoying, cruel, etc, but fascinating? Second, I really liked her. Yes, she was deeply flawed. She made choices that were short sighted, self serving, and flat out stupid at times. But so does everyone. I loved that even when her choices were stupid, I could see why she made them. I also felt so much anger and sorrow for her. Having your rapist held up as a hero while you are considered an accomplice to his pain. It was so frustrating and so, so believable.

Ehh not as good

This book wasn’t the greatest book I’ve read. The book started off boring which was hard to get through so much of the book before it ended up being just ok, I’m not sure if this book I would recommend but if you have the patience to read half of a boring book before it even gets somewhat good then maybe this book will be for you.

Please skip this book

This book was so disappointing! There isn't a likeable character, the plot is dull and truly depressing. It leaves you feeling icky.

Skip it. Rather boring plot with an unlikable protagonist.

This book really wasn't that great. I found the main character to be unlikable and really didn't care much about her or her future. I felt like the author tried to make me feel compassion for the character because of past trauma, which just resulted it annoyance. One can't exactly hate a female character who has faced a trauma...but that fact is the only reason I didn't hate the character. The synopsis made it seem like there's this big twist or secret. I kept waiting for it, but realized I'd figured it out in the first chapters. Skip this book. It's not worth your time.

Luckiest Girl Alive

The book was okay. I was surprised at the ending. It had alot of parts that women and teens can relate too.
