Review
This young adult title is a gripping psychological thriller that will both shock and mesmerize readers. Cut me free is a story about child abuse and human trafficking and the profound effect on a strong and frail teen. Chariotte is now living a life of freedom from her abusive parents but her keen instincts make her aware that others are being abused.
Although a gripping story of horrible abuse, hope is alive within the pages. Locked doors cannot hold back the terror and fear that abused victims suffer. The author has interjected relationships that reduce the individual horror, making this a readable and often cliff hanging story. Johansson offers up a rare look at the power of the positive and hopeful soul. Add this to public library collections.
Overall Book Score: very good
