Derp Review: The Way I Am Now by Amber Smith

Triggers: Sexual Assault, Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, Anxiety/Panic attacks, depression.

This story is emotional, and beautiful, and may be triggering for some. I fell in love with the story and was pleasantly surprised to see a sequel. I grabbed it immediately and read it every chance I got. The opportunity for Josh and Eden to have a second chance was more than we could ask for, not to mention seeing Eden have a chance at a better life, one where she could be happy.

This book showed the strength, struggles, and trauma, of being a survivor. It also shows beautiful friendships and a love that perseveres.
