First he stole her heart. Then he took her friend. Now she knows the truth.

Theo is better now. She's eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction--and abductor. Donovan isn't talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didn't do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything she's been living for at risk. But keeping quiet might be worse

Customer Reviews

La historia al principio fue algo confusa para mí, pero a medida que iba leyendo cada situación que tenía que enfrentar Theo me ponía ansiosa. Es una novela con un contenido de una historia real problemas de alimentación, la confianza, secretos, un poco de racismo, abuso y muchas cosas que pasan los adolescentes en la escuela y fuera de ella. Todo el misterio que ella tenía junto a los secretos, me ponían estresadas, no los contaba por miedo hacer juzgada. Y como se dejaba confundir con palabras de otros que solo tenían segundas intenciones para usarla. Pienso que muchos jóvenes deberían de leer esta historia y saber que no están solos aunque piensen que si.
