A review by liviaelle
Empty by K.M. Walton

4.0

This was a beautiful book with highs and lows. It took a while to get connected to the characters and there were moments where I wasn’t sure what was happening which is why I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5. The ending was abrupt, but I suppose that’s the reality of death. The moment you die there are no more thoughts, no more words, and I believe Walton captured that in the ending. This book discussed the realities being a teenager dealing with divorce, binge-eating, and rape. I appreciated that Walton didn’t sugarcoat the issues and instead attacked them head on emphasizing the severity of these topics. Finally, I wish there had been an epilogue included to show how Dell’s family and Cara felt following her death.
