I really liked The Darkest Corners. I liked the characters, especially Tessa because I thought she was well built. This novel deals with a lot of struggles many teens face like alcohol abuse, abuse from parents, kidnappings, murder, moving away from your best friends, prostitution, drugs, and so much more. I think this will be an eye opener to many teens to seek help if they are in these situations. I'm a teenager, but haven't come face to face with the decisions yet.
