Unclutter (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D Pagora – Review by Kerry Carr
Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story by Winnie D. Pagora
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a YA story which has been very well thought out and written. The author deals with subjects in this story that are very sensitive and could trigger some people such as sexual abuse, self harm and the after effects of being a victim of abuse. The author takes us on a journey with Tina Lauren as she struggles to find her way in the world while trying to come to terms with the abuse in her past and the mental scars she has been left with. The author does an amazing job of allowing the reader to feel and experiences emotions that Tina feels. One thing I loved about this book was the fact even though the subject was sensitive and could be a hard read, I loved how determined Tina was and how she was determined to not like her abusers or the abuse she suffered control her forever.
As hard as it was for me to read I was unaware of the way abuse could effect people in ways such as not liking to be touched. Tina knows her boundaries and won’t let anyone cross them no matter the repercussions of her actions cause or people’s opinions of her.
She treads a fine line between caring about what people think of her and being true to herself. When your a young woman being normal and fitting in is all you want and when you can’t have that everything becomes a struggle.
This was an inspiring story which I enjoyed very much.
