Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
I came away from reading this emotionally drained and heart broken. Margaret McHeyzer has done it once again in producing another thought provoking, excellent read that doesn't shirk from the difficult subjects and brings all the feels.
Dakota has her life ahead of her and so much to look forward to when, the night of her Prom, her life is turned upside down and she is left questioning herself and those around her. And when she thinks things can't get any worse, those she trusted turn their backs on her and make her life a living hell.
Dakota will never be the same again but with the right support she can start to rebuild her life again and getting the help she so desperately needs.
The despair, panic, fear and loneliness Dakota feels seeps off the page into your soul. Everything hits you hard and makes you feel. An emotional read for sure, but one that is a must read.

Excerpt
Dragging myself out of the gymnasium and down the hall, I try and get to the side double-doors. But with no one here to help me, it's difficult. I need to sit for a moment out on the steps leading to the back field and gather myself.
My legs become heavier as I get to the doors. The cyclone happening inside my head is growing thicker while my vision is so unclear I can barely make out any objects.
Stumbling down the first step, I barely recognize where I am.
“What’s happening?” I think I say.
There’s a cacophony of dense sounds; a combination of white noise, mumbling, and a beat which doesn’t make sense.

“What’s happening?” I think I say.
There’s a cacophony of dense sounds; a combination of white noise, mumbling, and a beat which doesn’t make sense.
My eyes are now so heavy I can barely open them and my legs are completely weighted as I attempt to make my way down the stairs. I think I’m going to pass out.
Author Bio
Possibly it's the fact there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering they're capable to change our lives.
How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?
I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'.
Normal is subjective.
I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.
I hope you do read and enjoy my stories.
