Book description as per Amazon...
It's been five years since I clicked Send.
Four years since I got out of juvie.
Three months since I changed my name.
Two minutes since I met Julie.
A second to change my life.
All Dan wants for his senior year is to be invisible. This is his last chance at a semi-normal life. Nobody here knows who he is. Or what he's done. But on his first day at school, instead of turning away like everyone else, Dan breaks up a fight. Because Dan knows what it's like to be terrorized by a bully - he used to be one.
Now the whole school thinks he's some kind of hero-except Julie. She looks at him like she knows he has a secret. Like she know his name really isn't Daniel.
Okay, I may be a little biased but I really loved this book. I think Patty doesn't something with the study of bullying as seen through the eyes of the bully. This is such a hot topic of debate right now, as it should be, and she handles it brilliantly. Dan is still just a kid. Sometimes self-deprecating, but always honest with himself. Something he learned the hard way.
You can read my Amazon review here.
One of Patty's good friend's even created a video for the book, which you can check out below.
Did you read it? If so, did you love it? Tell me, I want to hear what you think.
