This book has me reeling. I have so much to say about it but here is a short review. . . I Stop Somewhere is about all girls. It's about what makes us. Sugar and spice...we are not a cookie recipe. It's for all of us who do not fit in, a question for those who did but didn't feel good about it and above all those who deserve justice for things that were out of their control. It's about RAPE. And murder of a lonely girl. I was angry reading this book. Responsive to the spot on emotions of fear, the influences, the concessions. I identified with Ellie so incredibly that I actually paused to think in depth about my own experiences and appreciate that my life is not like hers. It's a hard subject but I think T.E Carter has an absolute grasp on teens, realities on issues that need so much more discussion and I see this book blooming for school study and more. "This isn't a story of great romance or of true love. It's simply a story of being lonely and how comforting it is to be called beautiful." PG 55. I have highlighted so many quotes from this book that stick with me and I guarantee you will too.
