Shut Up

Shut Up
by Anne Tibbets

I was excited to get this book in the mail. I got this book for free through Goodreads. I was excited because the book sounded really interesting.

I was even more excited to open the book and see that Anne Tibbets signed the book. I love that she took the time to sign it for me. Thank you Anne for signing it and for writing this book.

Now on to the book.....

Mary's older sister, Gwen, has royally screwed up her life. Not only is Gwen pregnant at seventeen, but she's also decided to marry The Creep who knocked her up.

Now Mary is powerless to stop her family from imploding. Her parents are freaking out, and to top it off The Creep has a gross fascination with Mary while Gwen enjoys teasing her to tears for sport.

Despite her brother's advice to shut up, Mary can't keep her trap closed and manages to piss off Mom so much it comes to blows.

Mary doesn't know what to do, and all her attempts to get help are rejected. When she finally plans her escape, she fails to consider how it could destroy them all.

It is not a huge book at under 125 pages, but the length of a book isn't everything. A book doesn't have to have 300 or more pages to be a good book and this isn't just a good book...it is a great book. It's a short book that you won't forget about anytime soon.

I would put this book on a MUST READ list. I think that everyone 16+ should read this book.

This book really touched me. I don't know how to put into words the way that this book moved me other then to say that I really think that people should read this book.

If you've ever felt like you weren't good enough, you couldn't do anything right, have been belittled or bullied, "Shut Up" is a must read.

I give this book a 5 out of 5
