Layers of Her
People always say it’s what’s on the inside that matters. If that’s the case, I’m screwed. On the outside, everything looks put together — blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and lean. By society’s standards, I’d be considered attractive. But f*ck society, I know what I am. I know what I’m made of. The recessive genes that reared their heads and created a decent looking package on the outside don’t make me who I am. What about all the evil lurking inside? What about all the other parts of me that aren’t so easy to see? Some of the most beautiful animals are also the deadliest. Take the polar bear, for example. Cute and cuddly on the outside, but it’s really a predator that will bite your f*cking head off. That’s a dangerous combination.
And that’s exactly like me, exactly who I am. Bad — and once you go bad, you can never go back.
WARNING: This book deals with the harsh reality of rape that could be upsetting for some readers.

*** First off I would like to start off by saying this book was not what I expected. I think from the warning I was thinking they may be some scenes that would be hard to read, there were no graphic rape scenes, so that was a relief. There are some tough things to swallow that happened to her and her mother though. ***
This book was excellent! I read it very fast, it was beautiful to watch their relationship grow. I could not imagine living like thinking I was poisoned based on my parents, or that I just plain wasn't good enough. Campbell goes through a lot in this book, Stone helps her make it through. Their journey is a long one.
I wanna tell you about so much but spoilers are not cool ;P
