Paint My Body Red by Heidi R. Kling
4.0
Paint My Body Red is a captivating page turner. The protagonist tells her story in alternating turns of then and now. I felt that this really helped to build the suspense and helped to balance some happiness of the budding romance in the now with the dark actions that take place in the past. I was really drawn in and did not want to stop reading until I found out exactly what all had happened and where it was all going to lead dear Paige now.
There was quite a bit going on in this book with what might seem like it should be more than one story but rather than seeming overdone it somehow works. This book does deal with some very serious subjects such as teen suicide, depression,and sickness so I would take into consideration if your a sensitive reader. I will say that I felt that all subjects were dealt with with both honesty and sensitivity and I respect that. Paint My Body Red is powerful and emotional, if you like YA books that deal with real issues then you should definitely give this one a try. I for one look forward to checking out more books from this author.
