This is an amazing book. It was difficult at times for me. There were places in it that I related to...too well. I took awhile to write the review because it took a toll on me. That said, I do recommend reading it. It was written well in my opinion. The author takes inside domestic violence and just how messy it can be. There are many reasons why leaving is so hard. This book lets you in on one woman's thinking and actions. This deals with adult situations. This is one time, though, that I would say let your older teen read it and then talk with them about it. Unfortunately domestic violence is a reality. So is teen dating violence. One of the ways to change that is through knowledge and discussion.… (más)
The two main characters, Tibby and Fin, were victims of life. However I did like them both. I loved the way Tibby dealt with the men who treated her badly. I enjoyed Fin up until the end of the book. Then it's left to the reader to decide which way his life goes. So it's possible he becomes slightly less likeable in his future. An irreverent, fun read.
Mazie Reynolds is in an abusive marriage. One day she fears her husband Cullen will kill her or harm their daughter Ariel. She doesn't want to live this way anymore, and her mission is to save herself and her daughter.
A well written powerful, emotional story. We see how Mazie is treated, how she feels physically an emotionally. Sadly and devastatingly we see the physical and psychological damage that is done to Mazie, and how it affects young Ariel.
I really liked Mazie, her courage and strength, and determination to overcome a tragic life. Ariel is likable as well, and her love for her Mother is a bond no one can break. I liked the message that is told.
I strongly recommend Mazie Baby to all. A memorable, emotional read that will last for a long time.… (más)
