It was okay. Pretty predictable and didn't have much of a plot (at least not a compelling one) but it still made me emotional at some points and the premise was super interesting.

I don't think I've read a sadder book. Lexie seems to have been selected by the universe to suffer for an act committed by another family member. No matter where she tries to live, or what new identity she uses, people soon uncover her secrets and the torment begins all over again. She's so damaged and gun-shy that when someone does see the real Lexie, she freaks. Read the book to find out what happens after that.

I can not tell you the last time I read a book that shattered me the same way I Stop Somewhere did - still does. I am gutted. Absolutely, gutted. Even a week after closing this book with tears streaming down my cheeks, I am still reeling from the emotional roller coaster that this book was.

Please allow me to clarify; I Stop Somewhere is beautifully and carefully written. Even though my heart ached again and again for Ellie and for her father, I did love reading this book. The storyline is meaningful and the characters are brilliantly written and developed flawlessly over each page. I connected to Ellie. I cried with Mr. Frias. Their relationship is one that I get. But what made this book so tragic is how real and familiar this story is. We all know this story. We've all heard it before. This is the telling of a victim, her assault and the assault of others - an assault that countless (too many) others face every single day. This story is for them. This book is for us.

As much as I love I Stop Somewhere through all my heartache, I know that warnings are so important. So, please be aware: Yes, this book can be very painful. Yes, there is rape. Yes, there is violence. Yes, there is death. TE Carter is sensitive but she is also honest - read her Author's Notes section. These pages are every bit as important as the story itself.

I can't think of a time where I Stop Somewhere could be any more relevant or any more necessary to read.
