Cheap second hand find from the English language bookshop Anagram in the old town of Prague. Thanks to AgdaAgulina for the tip of this nice bookstore :).
Synopsis:
"Fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone is in love for the first time. She's also the light of her father, Daniel's life - a straight-A student; a pretty, popular freshman in high school; a girl who's always seen her father as a hero. That is, until her world is turned upside down with a single act of violence. Suddenly everything Trixie has believed about her family - and herself - seems to be a lie. Could the boyfriend who once made Trixie wild with happiness have been the one to end her childhood forever? She says that he is,
and that is all it takes to make Daniel, a seemingly mild-mannered comic book artist with a secret tumultuous past he has hidden even from his family, venture to hell and back to protect his daughter."

This book left me some mixed feelings. Parts of the story felt somehow naive. Also the plot was not pushing me forward with intensity, so this felt to progress quite slowly. The themes of parenting and teenage rebelling were perhaps too far for me to relate to in any way. And I did not specially enjoy the comic strips in between the chapters and found myself skipping mots of them. All in all, I would still say this was worth reading, very Picoult style of judging your life values.

Thank you a lot for this book and sorry for keeping it with me this long!
I have liked all Jodi Picoult books and this was also good one until the very end where everything got really messy and confused. Pethaps this made me leave the book half read twice, and finished it only now. It was anyway a good read and should have been read sooner. Now the book stays behind in Hamburg, possibly to be read by a fellow bookcrosser and at least released to the wild.
