by Jo-Lynn (done with book)

Burned is one of the few books I actually got into and just couldn't put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen next, this book was incredible, emotional, heartbreaking, yet so beautiful. Once you get into this book you would never guess what happens at the end.
Pattyn starts off to seem like a normal high school girl who's parents force to be religious, but the thing most people dont know is that her father is very abusive. When she finds her first love she ends up in alot of trouble, she breaks windows and noes. Her father thinks she needs to go live with her aunt out in the country to put her back in shape. While she is out there, she finally finds the love of her live and in a split second, (you thought i was gonna tell you didn't you? well guess again you will just have to read it for yourself!)

  1. I felt the same way. First when you brought the book to class I thought to myself what are you doing to me, I am not ever going to be able to read that book. But I loved it, reading books are hard, I don’t relate too many, some are just plain silly because I can’t relate. The book describes things in detail but let you hanging which allowed you to want to make reading on and on then catches back in to catch you up.
    Not knowing what was going to happen made it a little scared when she went to her aunt’s house, but after understanding her aunt wasn’t like her father made me feel A LOT better. Coming back home was scarier than going. I knew when she went back home it was going to be worse than when she left it was not only her mom or sister to get hit it was going to be her too.

  2. Well throughout this novel I felt the same way but what i felt was that this book had alot of heart braking moments too but throughout it all I loved the book. So when you read it and got to the end did you cry or did you just get mad? I myself got tears in my eyes but i also felt mad.

  3. yes i got tears in my eyes, if i was her id hate myself more than ever b/c she had someone she loves help her get away but it didnt work, it only made things worse, what she didnt think about was, "whats going to happen if things take a different turn"
    but then i also was mad b/c after everything she went threw her family could just forget about her and put her out on the streets
