This book does a great job showing the effects of cyber bullying on both the victim and the bully. A few elements of the story seemed slightly unrealistic, but for the most part all of the characters behaved as people really would in these situations. If you are a teenager, have teenagers, or work with teenagers, then I recommend checking out this book.

I‘ve really been disappointed with Backlash. I get that YA books aren‘t written for adults, but this is the first YA book I‘ve read that I just can‘t get behind. It‘s not BAD necessarily, but it‘s just so juvenile. You can also tell that the author is trying to write the way she thinks teens talk, & that‘s how it comes off too. The slang & references feel dated. “Haters gonna hate,” teens on Facebook ... this story is 10 years behind the times.

I wasn't getting into Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, so I decided to put it down and come back to it later. This is going to be my next read 😊😊

I thought this book was underdeveloped... It felt rushed and like so much was missing. I liked the idea but overall it was meh. Note: I'm not the intended audience as a 26 year old and I could tell it was meant for middle/high schoolers because it had an immature feeling... It's a risk I take reading YA books 😜

Bostonmomx2 That's why I hesitate so much with YA. Some is so good but then there's the occasional one too immature. 8y

Powerful. What happens when you attempt suicide and it's not just you, you are hurting. Betrayal by a once best friend, sister who doesn't understand. Drama & truth! A good read so far!
