Summary
A gripping memoir of two battling narratives and a mother-daughter relationship stretched to its absolute limits.
Roxy was 13 years old when she was coerced then blackmailed into sending explicit photos, which were spread around her school. The shame led to self-loathing. The blame led to a psychotic breakdown. Roxy started hearing voices. Then she started seeing things...
What happens when your teenager starts to lose it, and then you lose each other? What happens when you can't tell your mother you desperately need help? And how can a family move past a devastating mental health crisis?
'Read this book. Then talk to your sons. It is essential reading' Jamie Theakston
'An extraordinary and important book. Read it immediately' Claudia Winkleman
'Superbly written, this deeply moving book underlines how truly precious mother-daughter relationships are, and never more so than in those teenage years' Gloria Hunniford

an insightful and true story about child mental health and parental struggles and achievements
This book is a must for all parents of teen girls and boys. Recommended by our daughter's educational psychologist, this book shows agonisingly the two sides of a child's mental health breakdown, from the child and parent's point of view. Thank you for doing this book xxx

Everyone should read this book!
Now I’m a BIG reader. But this is the best book I have ever read.
It should be read by every teacher, every medical practitioner, every parent, ever care giver, in fact every human being.
The insight into a teenage mind and the bravery needed to navigate this crazy world is so clearly felt. It’s written with a frankness and honesty that make it as uplifting as it is harrowing.
It’s impossible to do it justice in a review, so you’re just going to have to pick it up and start at page 1. I guarantee you won’t put it down until the end 🙏
Thank you Roxy and Gay for saying what needs to be said. ❣️

A must read for all parents.
Phenomenal writing and such an important story - both the topic of sexting and the misogynistic view from society of female children. So refreshing to read from both points of view and brutally honest.
