Her dad is an ex boxer and her ten year old brother Eddie goes to school still despite her dad seeming to be depressed and unable to cope, leaving her to do most chores like cooking and cleaning while they live off a lot of takeaway's due to her mum up and leaving with her dad's best friend.
Her friends get turned against her as they clash with Will and start to leave her out and hangout with new people leaving them to it and her more isolated than ever before when she really needs her friends close to help.
Will has issues too, his mum has a form of depression, anxiety and possibly agoraphobia too I think, which are threaded through out in his perspective which makes him snap at her and even slap her in one scene. Will was beaten as a child and believes loving someone and hurting them is right from his past experience sadly.
I commend her friend Dan in the book coming to the rescue and seeing the hints and signs as Anna too starts to realise what has been going on which she was blind to before.
My fellow Eve has written this book stunningly, true to the abusive relationship types out there this one is alike a mild experience I had around the same age their characters unfortunately. However, I did get out of it before anything bad occurred and telling truly is the way to solve the issue of safety around the individual doing the abuse either verbal, emotional or physical.
Help is always out there! It was a hard hitting read and relatable which will strike a chord among those who have any links to abuse at all and inform others who may be able to help someone.
A completely necessary book for today's society to take note of!
