Tessa is almost 17, and has been through a lot in her teenage years.
Her dad is a drunk and she has lived with him alone since 13. Her mom had abandoned her and her father in the middle of the night, taking all 8 of her siblings with. And because of it her dad had made up stories saying that her mother didn't love her anymore.

Her world shifted in junior high, transforming a good life into a living hell. Ever since, Maya has been plagued by anxiety and an inability to trust. She focuses entirely on evading unwanted attention and the horror it brings. She is left questioning if she can ever truly defend herself, escape the cruel world, and secure her own future.Complete

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment.
