I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.

I thought that this was an incredible book to read, it immediately grabbed hold of my attention and just refused to let it go! This is a truly great psychological fiction novel that will get your brain and imagination running, it is sure to expand your imagination and make your literature love grow even more! This is the first book I have read by this author but I will definitely be reading more from this author!
After her father's murder, Emily Quinns finds herself in a jail cell being charged with first degree murder, which she has absolutely no recollection about! She is shunned by her mother and hires a psychiatrist in order to protect the family name, the psychiatrist soon becomes sympathetic towards Emily and he is determined to find out the reason behind why she tries to embody the characters she has created in her scrapbook. Through trying to find out the reasons behind the way Emily behaves, they uncover lots of family secrets that have been hidden well until now that is, secrets of violence and abuse!
This book is brilliantly written, and the character of Emily Quinn really causes the reader to have lots of sympathy towards her, you really feel for her and want the doctor to find out what is causing her to want to embody the characters that she has created herself in her scrapbook. When you are reading this book it is more like it is a real life story rather then a fiction book, I would definitely recommend this book to readers over 13 years old, and to anybody who enjoys reading books that really get into your mind and brain.
