Sometimes at night, I wake up and stare at the heart for hours. I think of how I collected each piece from the beach, how I glued it all together into one big sculpture. I wonder if Connor realizes what it means, that he'll always have a piece of me no matter what happens. Each piece of glass is another piece of myself that I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't keep any pieces for myself. At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight-A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved - and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigger Connor's rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything - and everyone - in its path. This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.
I thought this was going to be so good but I hated it. I didn’t like the way she wrote backwards or the story. Not good
Very powerful. Loved it.

I think everyone who has dealt with an abusive relationship should read this. Maybe even younger kids to see what things could be considered abuse.
Very Powerful book

This book shows the subtle climb into an abusive relationship by starting out when the relationship is at its worse and then working its way backwards to when it was beautiful. This book is shows young girls the signs to look out for to prevent themselves from getting into an abusive relationship through a deep, emotional, and touching novel. Very good read.
