Both of these characters are incredible, but Tommy is something very special. Told from the POV of a confused, distressed and terrified child while she endures the abuse (and later in flashback) it’s very tough reading.īut the story quickly moves to when 14 year old Beth is ‘rescued’ from her situation by her Uncle Rob, and family friend, Tommy. And let me warn you, these scenes are emotional, graphic and incredibly disturbing. With emotionally absent parents, Beth endures a traumatising childhood, being molested from a very young age by a family friend. We meet Beth when she is 10 years old and dancing around her bedroom, singing into her hairbrush to Xanadu (I loved her immediately!). I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It is fairly short (unliked this review… sorry, I just have to gush!), but packs a punch with heaps of emotion, and the most gorgeous love story that had me squeeing out loud. It’s how we put those pieces back together that matters.” “We are all broken in one way or another.
