of McKenzie, Tennessee. She is the epitome of innocence when she meets

As Jake talks her through a decision she’s not yet strong enough to make, together they uncover a truth so ugly neither of them is prepared for its fallout.

Review
****This book is part of a blog tour
I received a copy for my honest review****
Gracie is everything innocent and
Noah is everything that good girls should stay away from, but Gracie despite
her instincts and people warning her, she sees something in Noah. Noah cleans
up his act and falls in love. Gracie changes schools to be with Noah and soon
everything turns bad, but Jake is there to help Gracie. While Jake wants to
help Gracie, ultimately she is the one who needs to find the strength to break
free. This book was really hard for me to read, the psychological abuse that
Gracie suffered was portrayed in a horribly accurate way. Gracie was so
innocent and young, she was just beginning to become her own person, learning
things and discovering who she was. Then she meets Noah the "bad
boy," but he isn't really a "bad boy" that's insulting to
put him in that category, he is an abusive doucheater. He twisted Gracie into knots;
the things he said and did to her were horrible. You could see the abuse cycle
throughout the book and it was gut wrenching. Jake, Gracie’s friend and Noah’s
ex-roommate was a great guy. He really tried to help her and give her the
strength she needed to break the cycle with Noah. I loved this book it's not a
hearts and flowers read it's a book that will show you some of the pain and
confusion that a woman who is abused will suffer. The author, Michelle, did a
great job in showing that it's not as easy as some people may think to get out
of that cycle. She showed that no matter how much another person may want to
help, it really is up to the person who is suffering to take some control and
get help. In Too Deep is a fantastic book with a great message and I can't thank the author enough for letting me read and review this book.
