Deidra Battle wants nothing more than to be invisible.

Being her mother's briefcase, Deidra joins her mother at her new workplace, Hodge High. Since her mother has reverted to her maiden name and changed her appearance, Deidra thinks no one will figure out they're the Battles from recent news and that they're safe. Neither of them is. Hodge brings a fresh set of bullies who discover details about the scandal that changed her life.

Freedom comes at a price.… (meer)

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this story a lot. It is a story about a girl who suffers consequences based on her mothers actions. The story is so convincing that it is easy to forget it is not real. It was well written and worth reading if you are looking for something interesting. ( )

This is definitely one of those books that breaks your heart. You really feel for the main character. It really shows you what it is like to grow up with an addict for a parent. So many bad things happen to Deidra that are 100% her mother's fault. I really liked Deidra and how strong she is despite her circumstances. A quick read that will stay with you! ( )

This book is certainly different to my usual read and it did take me a little while to get into the story. I very rarely write what a story is about as I always fear of spoiling for others. Very true to life and there were parts that I could relate to, even though quite different in circumstances. For instance, I had a teacher when I was in senior school who had an affair with a pupil, but the teacher was sacked. I would recommend this book whether you are YA or at the other end of the age scale.

I was fortunate to win an electronic copy of this book in a Giveaway and this is my honest review. ( )

I received this book to read and review. It was a fast moving book that kept me wanting to keep reading. I enjoyed the character of Deidra, but I felt myself getting upset with her mother by the way she was treated. It had a good story line because I'm sure there are girls who could relate to the situation Deidre was in. None of the problems were really her fault, but she got blamed for her mother's behavior. I also hope there is another book to follow to see how Deidre makes out with college life. ( )

After reading 52 likes I could not wait to read this book. This is a very intense read, however as sad as it is this is real life for some.

The characters are well developed. Deidra has had to leave her school, her friends, and her home. Her mother has her in the middle of a horrible situation. Her mother turns to prescription medication to get through the day. She acts like it's everyone else fault, and Deidra is to blame for the way her life has become. Deidra just wants to become invisible and finish her senior year. She faces terrible situations after the kids at her new school find out what her mother did. Deidra finds a ray of light with Malcolm. She is able to see her mother's mistake is not a reflection of her, and she does not have to pay for her mistakes.

I really enjoyed this book. ( Disclosure: I received a copy for my honest review) ( )
