I can't say enough good things about this book. Scars is an intense story about fifteen-year-old Kendra whose repressed memories of sexual abuse started resurfacing six months prior to the action in the novel. She cuts herself as a way to cope with the emotional pain. This is one of those books that I'll probably remember for the rest of my life. Its a powerful story gracefully written. I highly recommend it. ( )

I can’t believe I even read this? All that and now men are monsters..? Never again ( )

While I admire the author's courage for writing about such a difficult subject matter, I just could not like this book. The writing style was okay but I felt the dialogue was unrealistic in so many scenes that it kept jarring me out of the story. Also, the relationship between Kendra and Meghan was just completely unrealistic and I predicted the "plot twist" at the end after reading the first chapter. ( )

Aside from Wintergirls, this has to be the best book I've read! ( )

This book was powerful. It was descriptive and expressive. It dealt with mature subjects in a realistic light, not in a campy or overdone manner. This is probably not the right expression of what I mean, but I do have to say that it also had the element of a good mystery to it as well, because I didn't suspect the person who actually was committing these acts against Kendra until I read it.
