How often do we pass strangers on the street, in shops, at school with lost sad expressions on their faces? How often do we notice let alone try to help? Jodi is one such person struggling in a world where most people don’t notice or care. When her sexuality becomes known to the school by accident she becomes an outcast. Fearing for their daughter, her parents move their family away to start over. It is in this new environment that Jodi meets Carsen who had a similar high school experience. Carsen has problems of her own, a past not dealt with and a rocky marriage to contend with. When she extends a reluctant hand in friendship to Jodi she is surprised when Jodi is not the only one who learns from it. She teaches Jodi strength in adversity, in return she slowly begins to face her own demons.

Seems like other reviewers all think the book is about Jodi. I felt the book was more about the people she affected throughout the story. It is a short story and a quick read, but I found myself stumbling on numerous grammatical issues, weird turns of a phrase, and missing words. I can only give it two stars. The story could have received three stars, if not for the issues I ran up against.<spoiler>
The book got me thinking about the bullies (not just that bullying is bad). It had me wondering about what they think/feel after they drive someone to suicide. Sadly I don’t think many of them care. Which is a sad testament to our society.

The Breaking Point edition by Catrina Wolfe Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Touching coming of age story that will bring you hope and pain from one page to the next. Can't put down, easy read with a surprising ending that caught me off guard.
the book got you engaged in the characters but then left you unsatisfied.... there should have been more follow up! the main character isn't main character by the end
Bullying and suicide, two major topics—kudos to the author. Super scary and so realistic.
Keep writing. I would read something else youve written for sure
The author captured struggles/issues that r real for kids that r bullied, gay couples who want children, children who have been in foster care, family values and old fashioned thinking. Catrina did an amazing job addressing each of these and the impact it has on all parties involved.
I would love to read other books by Catrina if she were to continue to venture into the 'Drama Genre'.
God, this story was so heart breaking and will stay with me forever. Not only does it deal with bullying but it also hits on what most gay kids go through when they come out. With Jodi it was unintentional because she thought she was talking to her best friend but the fallout because of it was just horrible and really uncalled for. I mean honestly what makes people so cruel and judgemental?
After trying to kill herself Jodi's parents decide it would be better to move and take her to a new enviroment with advice from Jodi's 3rd therapist. There she meets a gay couple who are trying to have baby, Carsen and Amy. Carsen gets close to Jodi on encouragemnt from her wife and Jodi starts to come alive again until a blast from her past tilts her over the edge.
This story was well written and makes you think. If someone was in trouble would you try to help or just ignore them and pretend they don't exist? Jodi's situation is alot more common than peope think and the author did a very good job bringing this situation to light.
Jodi is bullied by her ex best friend, her boyfriend and their friend. I could feel Jodi’s desperation in the beginning. Her parents and the teachers do not try to stop the harassment. She feels that there is little left for her to do. She tries to end her life but is unsuccessful.
The parents are devastated by the situation and in their devastation seem to drift away from Jodi. A move might help strengthen the bond between parents and child, but something else happens. I really liked how the realtor convinces her partner, Carsen, to speak to Jodi about her similar experience. There is a feeling of optimism that this book has not had up to this point. Jodi meets a girl who is interested in her, another ray of light. I’m thinking that this book is going to have a happy ending when Jodi has a run in with her bullies. Jodi tries to end her life and is successful this time.
I have to admit this ending to a book really rattled me. With a larger support system, I believed that Jodi could go to these people. The characters really draw you in and you want a happy ending for the girl who was bullied. Unfortunately, bullying takes its toll.
I was given this in return for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads.
