Not the End

By: Gianna Gabriela

Narrated by: Amanda Stribling

I needed you. I needed you to tell me I was beautiful. I needed you to tell me it was all going to be okay. I needed you to be with me. To love me. To protect me. I needed you - but the sad thing is you didn't need me.

You didn't want me. You never cared about me. And when you gave up on me, I gave up on me, too. I lost myself because I found all my self-worth in you. And when you left me, I left myself, too.

Now I'm left wondering, could I come back for me?

Not the End is a powerful and moving novella about a girl finding herself again. Bouncing between past and present the story slowly unfolds to reveal what really happened While not graphic you know what the situation was and feel for Dima. I wanted to know more about Aron and the hard time he dealt with. I also wanted more Dina and Aron. This is an amazing story and inspirational to those who are dealing with Dina’s situation. It’s also a great reminder that you don’t know everything that happens and you shouldn’t judge as if you do.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Great Story!

This was my first Gianna Gabriela's book. This is the first book in the Not Alone Series, an amazing YA bullying romance. Dimah's story is heartbreaking. She is a lovely young woman. The storyline is well written, and the back and forth, past to present, is well done. Aron is a handsome young man, caring and protective, and I can't wait to listen to his story in the second book in the Series, Not the Same. Amanda Stribling did a great job with the narration, as always. She has a beautiful voice, with a great range of voices.

Dimah and Aaaron!

When she was attending high school Dimah had always felt like she didn’t fit in and was on the outside looking in. After she endured a traumatic experience she would give anything to go back to the way things were instead of being attacked and ridiculed every day. After a while she just accepted that nothing would change until Aron came into her life when she needed someone the most.

Aron is the star quarterback who even though he is dealing with his own issues is the one person who truly sees Dimah and the way he supports and looks out for her is inspiring as every school needs someone like him.

This is an emotional story about standing up for yourself and what is right. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrator was a perfect choice for Dimah and her voice pulled you into the story even more.
