Piper Schofield has been bullied and tormented at school for as long as she can remember and nothing excited her more than graduating and leaving town. Most of the torment originated from her neighbor and then all of his friends and everyone else just followed along, leaving her with one loyal friend, Frankie.
Dalton Payne had it all and the posse to follow along with everything he did or said. He ruled his school and when he set his mind to destroying Piper, everyone else jumped on board.
But one night everything changes and Dalton no longer remembers the guy he was or the past 10 years. But when he slowly begins to befriend Piper, will she trust the changes in him or is this just another cruel trick to break her heart for good?
Wow!! This was such an emotional ride that broke my heart so many times and then fixed it all up by the end!
Piper and her story just broke my heart on so many levels. The background behind why they called her "Bloody Mary" was just awful and I absolutely broke inside reading it and knowing how cruel kids can truly be. As we learn more about Piper you get a glimpse through her diary and another incident that makes you see how much she truly has been suffering alone and she never let anyone in to how much everything really affected her. It just honestly broke me as a mother of a teenage girl I can only hope that she allows me into all of her struggles as she does now.
Dalton was a character that you completely hated at the beginning of the book and really through a little bit more just because you had to be sure that his loss was the truth. I hated the friends he initially surrounded himself with and I was so happy when all of the truth eventually came out from a certain incident at the party. I liked how Dalton slowly realized how much of a jerk he was and how he had a lot to prove to Piper to show her he was a completely different guy now.
I was pretty freaked out after the accident with everything Piper was holding in and I was so happy when the truth came out how everything was handled.
There were a few moments in the book where certain truths are revealed and things change with how people are perceived and through this I liked how strong Piper remained. I was definitely worried about Dalton and how he was dealing with it all as he had no memory of the past except through what he read from Piper's journals and from something else as well. I understood why he was scared but I loved how Piper fought back and showed him that he was different.
The very end was great and I loved the teaser that the author gives at the end of the book for Frankie and Zeke!
5 Stars
