I have never been Reyes' biggest fan .. he is a hero that goes up and down with me. Sometimes I love him to death and sometimes I just want to strangle him to death. 
 This book offers me an inside into his life, his past from his perspective. He know what he went through from Charley's perceptive but that is an inkling of how much it really affected him and the extent of some of the things he went through. We see a side of Reyes that we have never seen, a vulnerability that he never shows in the other books that are in Charley's perspective. I enjoyed seeing how his thoughts were, about himself and about Charley and how he interacted with her over the years. 
 This book held nothing back, it gave us every dirty gruesome detail about Earl's treatment of Reyes, not with so many words but the implications were so dark and gritty, they physically hurt. 
 I love this book because I was able to see Reyes through his eyes and was able to get to know him on a whole different level. 
 5/5 stars
