“Wow! This was a dark and emotional ride. Told in alternating point-of-view between Kurt, a recruited football player with a history of sexual and physical abuse, and Danny a small gymnist whose team is being bullied by captains of the football team. The two boys form an unexpected friendship while facing extreme harassment. There is some very mature content in this book that many may not want to read, but the author tackles the subject in a realistic and educational way. I kept wanting to scream, "go tell an adult," but the reality is teens will be teens and they get scared and don't always make adult choices. What an extremely powerful book, I was engrossed from beginning to end. The audio version is just fantastic and the voice actor who played Kurt did an amazing job with Kurt's stutter; conveying the agony Kurt goes through on a daily basis.”
