Part of me wanted to like this book. Being a self proclaimed reality TV junkie I wanted go give Ms. Abraham a chance to explain her actions towards her parents. The only thing I have to say about this is I hope it helped her with the grieving process of her ex boyfriend, Sophia's father. The way she explained Derek was less than appealing, and very condescending. I hope Farrah is smart enough to never let her child read this material.
This book in a whole lacks editing, grammar and correct spelling. Being from the south I am use to slang, mispronunciation, and bad grammar, but little lady, you wrote a book, use spell check. Part of me wonders who published this book, if I wasn't so lazy and bluntly do not care I would look it up.
At first you feel like you may find out what happened to Farrah, why she was so sad, why she acted like she did even before Derek's death. But no, what you get is a word by word, day by day, hour by hour recount of the tattered "romance" she and Derek shared. She explained in very rash detail of their first sexual encounter, how she felt stuck on him, and other situations I would not have dreamed of being in at her age. It is no wonder that she got pregnant. Although, I do have to give it to her about trying to "grow up" in the situation she put herself in, but her explanation leaves you truly lacking at of any of the information you were hoping to find.
I could go on and on about how bad this book was, but I am no author and like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I would not recommend this book to anyone under 18. It is vile, graphic, and unnerving. I wanted to like this book, I really did. I just couldn't. If you feel you need to read this, it is a quick read. I finished it in one day and was able to return it to Amazon. ( love my kindle) All in all I feel bad for Sophia, I feel bad for Farrah and the household she grew up in, I hate that she lost someone she "loved" and that Sophia will never meet her father, but I feel Ms Abaraham did this in the wrong way... may she should have waited to grow up some more before writing this....
