I love this book! It told a true tell story of what can happen to anyone whether it is at prom or at a party. Sometimes the one we think is worth trusting is the one to hurt us. Dakota is brave and her little sister is my favorite character. I couldn’t put it down.
What a great story! Hard subject to read about. heartbreaking.
I will write more when I can find the right words. to do the story justice.
But I would recommended it
Best book I’ve ever read, a must read for all women of all ages
Over the top emotional!!!
“Mistrust” is not a pleasant story, but it is a necessary one. Dakota lives every young woman’s nightmare.
This is the kind of book that should be read in highschools as it touches on some tuff issues but is also a book everyone should read. The story is emotional but shows the strength we can have in the toughest of times
Margaret McHeyzer has done it again.
Again like her novel Ugly, which impacted me on every level, Mistrust did the exact same thing and is nothing short of absolute sheer brilliance that left me completely breathless and quite frankly shattered me to my very core.
We meet Dakota.
She is young, beautiful, smart, popular at school, has an abundant of great friends, a cheerleader and her boyfriend Levi is just dreamy. She is so in love. An what is even better is prom night is coming.
Dakota is so excited she cannot wait.
She has waited so long for this night.
But what is supposed to be every girls special night with her boyfriend and friends, turns into a nightmare that no young girl should EVER have to deal with or live with.
I don’t want to give much away about this novel, but believe me when I say it is a MUST read, not only for us adults, but for young girls and guys too for that matter. I would even go as far as saying that it should be a part of every school curriculum world wide. And why?
Because Mistrust takes us on a real life journey of when a young girls trust is shattered.
It takes us on a journey of a young girls innocence completely broken.
It tells the story of a young girl hurting, betrayed, disgusted within herself and doubting everyone around her.
It tells a story of a beautiful young girl who no longer lives, but simply exists, trying to get through a day.
Mistrust is raw, gritty, and at times highly confronting which I am sure would cause triggers for some readers, but this is real guys…..This is what young girls of today are faced with…..This is what young girls need to hear….This is what young girls need to know, because as they say knowledge is power, and if every young girl knows about the dangers lurking in the shadows, they can do so much more to protect themselves, and know that they are never alone.
A brilliantly executed read that will hit you right where it hurts……Because this is reality.
A 5 star read
