What the fuck? I cannot understand how people are giving it 5-star reviews because this was one of the worst things I've ever read.I couldn't believe the whole book was so black and white. Kate, a victim of horrible abuse at the hands of her mother, has been ridiculed by her peers for her appearance for years. In fact, they physically abuse her too (wtf that scene)! But her knight on a white horse comes to her rescue in the form of Henry, her friend from childhood who has recently moved back to [...]

Heart on a chain is such a beautiful book, let me just start by saying that I rarely ever cry during books. I cried reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and that was about it. I am not saying that I never cry. I cry. I cried watching despicable me, for goodness sake. I saw it in the theatres and my friend was silently laughing while these silent tears rolled down my cheeks. I went into a hysterical fit while watching Bambi and Dumbo. I even laugh so hard I cry at the dinner table; yep I’m a [...]

This was a book that I walked away from feeling like it had made me a better person. Heart on a Chain reminded me to stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves and to never judge a "girl" by her cover. Masterfully written, emotion-invoking, and a happy ending. This was book love for me.

If you feel like torturing yourself, go ahead and read this. Heart on a Chain is as heart-wrenching, gut-clenching and tear-jerking as it gets. I devoured this in almost no time; ending up a sobbing mess more than just once. Kate’s fate is awful and her story painful to read but on the other hand there are a lot of beautiful moments and Henry truly is an angel. I really enjoyed this, even if the story got a little overdramatic at times but altogether I’m glad I’ve read this.

I loved the character development and the slow reveal of what happened to the main character. At the beginning, Kate just seems shy and meek. Eventually you find out that she has a lot of issues that she has kept hidden for such a long time. When you feel like this poor girl just can't keep going, finally there is relief with the appearance of Henry. Henry's persistance and good nature is a welcomed sunshine into their gloomy life. Sadly, the terror comes to a head, but Henry and his family step [...]

Cindy C. Bennett, you know how to make me cry. I'm not much of a book crier, but you've made me weep through not just one book, but TWO. You have some magic button that just unleashes my tear ducts so that I find myself sobbing while reading. And then, you add these crazy-good, awwww endings that make me smile through my tears. May we have some more, please?I devoured Cindy's book Geek Girl and couldn't stop thinking about it. Her writing and characters draw me in and make me feel like I'm prese [...]

My apologies to the author, because she has accomplished more than I ever will just by publishing a book. And it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there. I really had high hopes for this book from all of the glowing reviews, and normally I love a good, angsty love story, but this? I couldn't even finish. This story is just trying too hard at everything. This Poor Girl's life is HORRIBLE. I get it. And the Hero Who Rides Back Into Town to Save Her is AMAZING. And the Poor Girl's mother and [...]

Spoiler Free Review5 STAR READGenre: YA RomanceWarning- the subject matter in this book is very raw.

Kate's mom is a pill popper and her dad is an alcholic. Home is no fun; dad beats mom, mom beats Kate. And it's not only at home does Kate suffer but at school she is bullied by both the male and female studen [...]

This is one of the most heart breaking books I've read. Going through the emotional and gripping journey with Kate was an experience. I found myself telling her to fight back and stand up for herself so many times through out the book. Despite all the heart wrenching moments in this book, there were moments that were so sweet and innocent (like the first time she sees the ocean). This is a very moving read and one that takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster. I'm thinking I need to read [...]

Never judge a girl by her cover. The main character, Kate, has lived with abuse her whole life. She is very resilient and strong, wonderful qualities to see in a female character. She deals with her alcoholic father and drug-addicted mother on a regular basis, sometimes coming out the worse for wear. Some might see her refusal to stand up for herself as a shame and weak, and it might be; however, Kate is also a proud character, possibly a bad trait in this situation, but it works as a character [...]

Okay - I bit and I'm glad I did. This book was a GR recommendation for me based on books I've rated. It isn't typical for me to read a YA, so was skeptical, but I read the book blurb and thought about my kids and some of their freinds and decided to try it. Very glad I did.The premise for this book is a childs courage in handling tragedy dealt by a parent. How the love of a freind can be comforting and redeeming. And, in the end, we can survive and come out on the other end, with the support of [...]

Just Wow! Such a beautiful and heartbreaking book. I cried like a baby reading this story, you spend the book in emotional highs and lows.I like the character development of Kate. She is strong and brave, and has a great capacity to keep going and forgive.Henry is the perfect guy that any girl in this world wants, it’s impossible to find fault to him. He is sweet and real, and his family is amazing.Totally recommended!

A remarkable piece of YA Indie fiction. This book was a bit out of my normal parameters, which lean a bit more towards the paranormal and dark fantasy, but it's been receiving rave reviews on . After reading Tabitha Suzuma's Forbidden, I've been eager to venture into some of the grittier realistic YA fiction. This novel is certainly that. I found myself in tears several times throughout the novel, and as much as I wanted to blame the novel for being over-the-top, the sad fact is that the situati [...]

In all honesty, I am sick of these types of books, books that use abuse as a plot devices to trigger sympathy, but all its triggering is anger. This book is shallow, mediocre and an even worse replica of Barely Breathing, there were a lot of grammar mistakes, a lot of unnecessary scenes and a hell of a lot of scenes that are supposed to be heart-breaking, but all it got out of me is an eye-roll. Kate, our perfect MC, is beautiful, so beautiful that all the girls are jealous of her and beat her u [...]

I'll start by saying WOW, this is an amazing read! This is truly a roller coaster of a book. You never know where the story line is going. There is absolutely nothing predictable about it. Also, you spend the book in emotional highs and lows. Although admittedly, I spent most of the book crying. It was also so romantic and I loved watching their love form and evolve.The book was truly impossible to put down. There is something about the book that is so relatable, especially when it comes to the [...]

But when the dad would come home drunk and stand outside Kate's door my stomach would clench and I'd think stay out, stay out, stay out.

After moving away for 6 years, Henry is shocked by what he finds when he returns. The girl who he had a crush on since he left is now completely different- and not in a good way. The more Henry tries to become friends with Kate- the more she pushes him away, what he doesn't know, is that it is out of fear. When I read [...]

This one was definitely a 4 to 4.5 Star book. Though it was incredibly SAD! One of the first books I really balled like a baby reading. But the story was so touching and your heart just broke for the main character. I was sucked in from the beginning and never let go. Definitely recommend.
