A Child Called "IT" by Dave Pelzer

 “Inside, my soul became so cold I hated everything. I even despised the sun, for I knew I would never be able to play in its warm presence. I cringed with hate whenever I heard other children laughing, as they played outside. My stomach coiled whenever I smelled food that was about to be served to somebody else, knowing it wasn't for me.” 



Goodness , I have never read a book like this before, I went crazy reading this. I cringed at every abuse that his mom did and hated to read whats going to happen next and I still couldn't keep it down because I so wanted to know what happened next. I  could not imagine that this could happen to a human being and this could be inflicted by another human being. It was the story of a little boy who was abused (its the smallest word for what he faced) by his own mother. I still don't know why ? This is the book which I don't know whether to recommend or not to recommend to  other people. 

Deep Down True by Juliette Fay

" Were you sick?" he asked. "I hope it wasn't some fad diet."
            " The Divorce Diet,"she joked humorlessly. "Not a fad, exactly - more of an epidemic." 
              " I'm so sorry," he said gently. "how are you?"
              "Okay, I guess."It appeared he was waiting for more, so she added, "I'm still flossing."
          "Good," he said. " Because Nothing's more important than a proper dental hygiene when life starts throwing punches."



I liked this book , it was a simple story of a woman , a mom of two , handling divorce. It was a simple book ,still it said a lot emotionally . I did finish it in two days because I always wanted to know what happened next. It also felt like a sweet romance story at times . Me as a reader kept asking the lady, pick him ,pick him. So interesting, never boring. Liked it.
