Synopsis
I had no mother
I had no father
I was all alone and all I wanted was a little girl
More then anything in the world
I wanted a little girl
More then anything in the world
I wanted a little girl
You
You are my little girl.
That is what she used to tell me in our "tell me again" times, the time where I was all she needed, not a house, a face lift, stepbrothers or a man. Before I learned about boys, sex and how crewel life can be.
Review
Lets start with saying that if you want the type of realistic with a Disney ending and that doesn't touch strong subjects then step away from this book, slowly, slowly there you go.
This book starts with a hard issue, a mother leaving her daughter alone because she wants to feel up the emptiness in her life, how this starts to affect her daughters life and the daughter starts this cycle again.
We see little Ana learn about sex, use it as an escape and be a victim of it.
When you read this book you have to be conscious that this a dark type of realistic fiction. That this characters are humans and will make mistakes that will probably make you dislike them (sometimes really dislike them), but you will still want to cheer them on.
This isn't a story that tells you how you meet a guy and suddenly all your life is better, this story is more about the changes a person must go, the experience one goes throw and that a person is given times to break the cycle that binds you into committing the same mistakes over and over, even those passed from one generation to another.
This is really an interesting read, I wasn't really ready for it but I am glad to have read it. It may not resonate with my personal experiences but it shifted my view of life which is one of the things I love about novels, the feed you a little secret about people, about being human.
Also this story could have used a lot less pot use from the characters.

This are some of the song that one way or another I feel they go with the story.

This are some of the song that one way or another I feel they go with the story.
This songs may not tell the full story but as I said they remind me in one way or another to the story it might be a phrase, the feeling of the song or just a small moment in the music.
Awesome playlist, good review!
