For anyone who is a cutter, knows a cutter, has been abused, or knows someone who has been abused.
This story was well written.
It is a heavy topic but Rainfield deals with the issues in an amazingly relatable way.

This book felt so real, well written, and the main character came alive for me on the pages. I felt her tension and her fear, but also her moments of hope and happiness. I highly recommend it.

I have to preface this by saying I had a very normal childhood and was just a very average teen, so parts of this book were tough for me to relate to personally at first. But it didn't take long before I totally felt for Kendra, whose pain is so deep that she cuts to help herself cope with her horrible memories of abuse and the current threat of her molester stalking her. I think this book provides an excellent window into the lives of kids who self-injure and makes it easier to understand why they might hurt themselves to ease pain. I think the author tackled this obviously sensitive issue with honesty while injecting a lot of hope in Kendra's story.

'Scars' is a book that you are unlikely to forget. Long after you finish devouring its delicious words, you are left with its imprint forever upon your soul. It is courageous and honest. It explores subject matters that need to be spoken about. Things that are, even in this day and age, brushed under the carpet in some circles. I was immediately swept up into Kendra's world, and her story held me captive the entire journey. I highly recommend that you not only read this book, but talk about it!
