Brandi's Review:
**I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review**
Sometimes I get stuck in a rut. It feels like I am reading the same story line over and over again with different characters in a series. Then you have an Author like Shay Ray Stevens come along. This isn't my first rodeo with her, and I hope it won't be my last.
The Me You See follows Stefia's story through the eyes and minds of those who thought they knew her. As you follow each character, you learn a little more about Stefia and how her life affected each person differently. It made me think....a lot. We all are different, and each person we encounter sees us in a different way, but do we really know anyone at all? Once I started reading, I couldn't think of anything else. I just wanted to soak up every ounce of Stefia's story. I wanted to shout from the rooftops! I need someone to analyze every moment of this book with me so we can talk details....spoilers!
If you are looking for a breathe of fresh air in a thrilling and captivating standalone, then you need to read The Me You See. Once you read it, we need to talk because I won't ever forget this story and I bet you won't either.
I give The Me You See 5 stars.....only because I can't give it more!
