When seventeen-year-old Ashley Watson walks through the halls of her high school, bullies taunt and shove her. She can't go a day without fighting with her mother. And no matter how hard she tries, she can't make her best friend, Matt, fall in love with her. But Ashley also has something no one else does: a literal glimpse into the future. When Ashley looks into the mirror, she can see her twenty-three-year-old self.
Her older self has been through it all already--she endured the bullying, survived the heartbreak, and heard every ugly word her classmates threw at her. But her older self is also keeping a dark secret: Something terrible is about to happen to Ashley. Something that will change her life forever. Something even her older self is powerless to stop.
Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and The List, Every Ugly Word is a gripping and emotional story about the devastating consequences of bullying.
This is a new release of the previously self-published title Breakable.

EVERY UGLY WORD: A New Favorite By Jen St. Rand (Fictitious Delicious) **Please note - This review was published at a time when "Every Ugly Word" was titled "Unbreakable" and was self-published by the author. The character now known as Ashley used to be named Stacy.** I received an email from my friend Brittany a few weeks ago recommending this debut novel from Aimee Salter. Now, I'm not one to normally review a self published author that I don't already have a relationship with, but the synoposis of BREAKABLE and Brittany's insistance that I read it convinced me to pick it up. And I'm so glad I did. Folks, this is one of my favorite reads this year.Before I get into the beautiful story here, I want to mention a really important piece. If you're hesitant to pick up self published books because you're afraid of the writing caliber, listen very carefully to me. The three traditionally published books I read right before BREAKABLE (one by a best selling author) were not written as well as this. The dialogue, the pace, and the emotion conveyed through this story are some of the best I've read. There is no doubt that Aimee Salter loves to write. Shelf any of your self pubbed hesitations right now.Now, onto the story. Be prepared to FEEL when you pick up BREAKABLE. This is a story about a girl named Stacy who is suffering from severe bullying. And not just from classmates. (Let's just say that Stacy's mom does NOT have it going on.) Every single relationship that should be safe for Stacy isn't. Even the one with her future self she sees and confides in when she looks into the mirror can't provide her reassurance. She finds solace in the secret love she holds for her best friend, Mark. But he doesn't know just how bad things are for Stacy. She doesn't want Mark to see how horribly she is treated by her classmates for fear that he, too, will begin hating her and take away the friendship she uses to anchor herself. It is heartbreaking to see her suffer through the emotional and physical bullying, but the real tragedy lies in the fact she has NO ONE to seek out for help. Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, blames her for the fact that she's bullied.And THAT's the reason I wish every single high schooler (and their parents!) could read this book. I don't know that this was Salter's intent with this story, but a huge underlying question for me coming out of this read is, "Who is to blame for bullying?" Stacy blames her bullies, her bullies blame her, and there are seemingly no answers on how to stop it. Stacy puts herself in situations that make it easy for her tormentors to do their thing (*cries*) and it's obvious that the ones doing the bullying are to blame. But what about the ones pretending it isn't happening. Is there blame there, too? Lots of good conversations to start once you read this--so pick it up so we can have them!The biggest villain of all in this book has raised the bar for all villains. He is ruthless, unrelenting and absolutely one of the worst characters I've ever encountered in any book. The reason he's so scary, I think, is because he's SO REAL. I knew one of these boys in ninth grade. We'll just leave it at that.Salter has delivered an incredible story in a very unique way. You learn Stacy's story in a series of "flashbacks" she shares with her psychiatrist after an "event" that lands her in therapy. You'll be eager to learn what exactly this "event" is and the tension you'll feel getting there will remind you of how emotional a book can make a reader feel. I had to put the book down because of the intensity at one point, but came back 10 minutes later because I couldn't stay away. That's a sure sign of a good book.

Awesome read about bullying with a dose of magical realism and a psychological thriller as well By Kelli Nash Every Ugly Word really took me by surprise. I thought, after reading the summary, that it was going to be a book about bullying with a small dose of magical realism. And it was, but the magical realism element was really unique. It had a psychological thriller aspect to it that kept me thinking about the story long after I finished reading it.I am glad that the authors of YA literature are starting to write about bullying. It is a very relevant topic, and worthy of inclusion in the YA genre. I think that nearly everyone experiences bullying at some point in their life, whether they are the victim, the bully, or their friend is affected.Ashely is the target of two of her school's most popular kids: Finn and Karen. For whatever reason---do bullies ever have a good reason for picking on someone?---Finn and Karen set out to make her life miserable. And they succeed in full. Ashley is depressed, constantly tortured at school and via social media, and can't even take solace in her mother's care: her mother thinks that the bullying is Ashley's fault. To add to her desperation, Ashley is hopelessly in love with her best friend, Matt, who sadly does not share her feelings. Matt's friendship is Ashley's only buffer in the storm of high school, and when Matt and Karen start to date, he becomes less of an advocate for Ashley, right when she needs him the most.Just this premise alone would have made for a great, emotional read. But the addition of magical realism: the fact that when Ashley looks in the mirror, she can see herself six years in the future, made this book so unique and intriguing. I loved Ashley's interactions with Older Me. They made me remember my high school years, which were not always great, and I remembered that desperate feeling of wanting to know that things would be better for me when high school was over. Salter captured those feelings perfectly, and the emotions of both present-day Ashley and future Ashley jumped off the pages. I found myself tearing up several times while reading Every Ugly Word, because of how invested I was in Ashley's emotional well-being.The ending of the book really took me by surprise. For most of the book, it was very clear which Ashley was narrating: the present-day Ashley or the older Ashley. However, at the end, the two stories converged. Twice, I actually had to flip back a few pages to make it clear which Ashley was the current narrator. This slight confusion was the only thing I didn't love about this story.If you are new to magical realism, don't shy away from Every Ugly Word. This book is a perfect blend of contemporary fiction with a dash of magical realism, and an emotional journey full of character growth. I highly recommend Every Ugly Word and look forward to reading more from Aimee Salter.

Stacy makes you want to fight for her. She’s not a pushover. Salter is great at believable plot twists; the story never got boring for me. The most accurate description? Raw. On every level.Characters—Stacy: I wouldn't say I necessarily liked her. I always support fighters who are direct in their approach and Stacy wasn't that. But I definitely empathized with her; my heart went out to her and her conflicts within herself and with other characters are very realistic.Older Me: At some times, very enigmatic. I liked it. At others, it seemed like I could see right through her. I think Salter did a great job making Older Me a character full of intrigue, uncertainty, and foreshadowing.Mark: Oh, so clueless, boyish, and…realistic! As the reader, I didn’t see Mark the way Stacy sees him. Instead, I saw the way Stacy saw him and I saw the way the rest of the world would see him. (That’s a lot of “saws”). Anyway, I really respected Salter for making Mark a round character whom one might actually meet in a high school. He’s not some formulaic love interest full of mystery and unrequited love and brooding, yet he still cares deeply for Stacy. In short, I adore the mistakes he makes!Finn: Can we not discuss him? Like, is he worthy to be deemed human? Finn, Stacy’s most enthusiastic tormentor, needs an attitude check and a life. He’s awful—almost too awful to be believable. I can’t decide whether that’s a flaw or a strength.The Themes—I didn’t feel like Salter communicated any strong themes in Breakable, but I did get a sense of some definite ideas. I think this book is a good lesson to people about what really goes on in the mind of someone who is bullied. It also reminds us of the importance of showing compassion to those teenagers. Honestly, I was beyond angry at everyone in the book who blames Stacy for being bullied. …Then, very guiltily, I realized that I would probably have a similar mindset. Wow. Reality check.Final Thoughts—I usually don’t review for self-published authors, but I’m really glad I reviewed for Aimee. She’s a brilliant writer—especially when it comes to plots—and has a lot of potential. Something tells me this will be the first of several novels with which readers will identify. I highly recommend that you read Breakable. You can buy it here for only a couple bucks. It’s definitely worth it.**The author provided me with a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not compensated in any way.
