Summary of the Book:
Sometimes the most difficult choice is the only one you can make.
Maggie knows the abuse she endured as a little girl isn’t all that defines her. She’s a strong student, varsity athlete, good person—but she’s careful not to let anyone close. Because letting someone in means risking the truth. And the truth didn’t work so well for her the first time.
Now there’s this great guy. He likes her. He makes her think that maybe, just maybe, she could be normal. She could be happy.
Just when things are getting good, the man who abused her barrels back into her life, and she discovers that another little girl is in danger. She can continue to hide her past—or confront it and risk her hard-won happiness.
She can say something.
*Abuse is NOT depicted in a graphic manner.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This was intense and social topic that few wish to talk about at all. Maggie is hiding a dark secret of her past that she does not want to face now that she has escaped that. She does not let people into her live very easy, but that is when she meets Matt. Then of course the other shoe drops and she has to face her past at the risk of the life that she has now built for herself. What is she willing to risk to do the risk things. I think….Say Something….
My Rating of the Book: 5 Stars
