First book by this author and won’t be my last. I definitely look forward to reading more about Taggart who I now have a soft spot for in my heart.


“Our generation has perfected the skill of character assassination under the guise of playful humor. We’ve evolved from driving a single dagger in the back to using hundreds of tiny pricks, innocently delivered via text messaging,or other social media, but the effect is just as devastating. That kind of bombardment, overtime, can overwhelm even the sturdiest of adults. But this is happening to teenagers. I believe the damage done has become the most undiagnosed mental crisis amongst people our age”.- Taggart
