This was such a page turner. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. I really enjoyed reading about Char, despite her being such a cruel character in “The Skin I’m In”. Highly recommend this read.

Wow! This companion book to The Skin I’m In immersed me in the world and mind of Char from the first sentence and kept me reading to the last, and now she is in my memories forever, just like Maleeka has been for 20 years. Highly recommend for mature teens and for all adults who will experience a window into a young girl’s life like never before! A+

Each and every emotion felt & every situation experienced by Char and all of the characters is so eloquently described, that it feels that you are in their midst. The dangerous reality of sex trafficking is so dark, scary, bone chilling, and traumatic! Awareness and education must be heightened! I will be reading all of Ms. Flake’s books!
