The Way I Used To Be Book Review


I'll leave some Trigger Warning *Sex, Drugs, Rape, Slut Shaming* I wouldn't recommend this book for younger readers!
We follow the story of Eden a fourteen year old school girl who explains her journey in four parts of being a victim raped by her brother's best friend Eden has always been a good girl who her parents knew her by but once she gets into sophomore and Junior to Senior year to change her persona which leads Eden into trouble because all the guys she hanged out with she lied she was eighteen but legally she underage and loved this boy called Josh who was way older then her he was shocked to find out she was fourteen because Eden lies and hides who she is to escape by drinking and smoking with her best friend Mara, the life for Eden at home was her struggle since no being around her brother Caelin and ends up feeling like an only child.

 Wow is all I can say for this book because it is quite a raw and strong read also quite sad I enjoyed seeing Eden's life in four parts it expresses how much things feel to her and how she could be a risk one thing I didn't like about her was all the lying she made because once the truth was admitted you can't lie anymore but I'm glad in the end she spoke out to her brother about what happened maybe it'll change how everything will turn out they'll be some shock to everyone but it better than later and I really loved this book despite the deep topic I connected to Eden's voice quite a lot.
