I actually threw this book and I am greatly sorry for it but this novel got under my skin. So yes, I totally enjoyed this novel and yes, I would highly recommend it, if this is a genre you read. Why? For starters this novel is real, this story is reality as it told the story as if they were your nei...

Because of the subject matter Such a Pretty Girl was hard to read and I found myself setting it down to take breathers while reading. I liked Mer and Andy's characters and relationship. I HATED the mother as much as I hated the father. I wish there was some sort of poetic justice that the mother fac...

The synopsis is vague and after reading it, I figured out why. There was a plot, sure. But not one that could be summed up in the book. There are only about 210 pages, so it’s a relatively short book. I’d say the only thing wrong with the book is that it doesn’t really go anywhere. That doesn’t mean...

Such a Pretty Girl depicts a community where the tension doesn't simmer; it's explosive. The only way to protect the community is to provoke the offender into re-offending, and Meredith offers herself up as the sacrificial lamb. She's in no way reluctant, though she must battle her fears to complete...

Randomly picked this book off the shelf. A very difficult book to read but also a fairly quick book to read with a touchy subject matter. Not one I would really recommend to people to read. Well written, some great characters with equally as awful characters as you can get in a book. I never know ho...

Note : I do not recommend this book to someone who has been molested or could be triggered by rape and abuse issues.This book is well written in the fact that the readers can really feel like they are inside Meredith’s head (well, it’s not grand literature but that'll do). It’s easy to read. This bo...

But now Meredith is only fifteen, and her father is coming home from prison. Her father is a child molester who raped her, and now he's ...

I liked it. Crazy mother. A pervert for a father. A scorned crippled boyfriend. Miracles. Shit if I were Meredith I'd save every penny and mooch all resources just to run away from all that. Short but good. Not satisfied with the ending, it was pretty weird and I still don't get the relation of the ...

Meredith is fifteen and has already lived through nightmares worse than anything most people could even imagine. Her father sexually abused her and her mother didn’t do anything to stop it. Meredith wasn’t alone though; he abused several other young children, but it was Meredith being injured to t...

4.5 starsHow did I know before reading this book that it would be so disturbing and raw that I would find it absolutely brilliant.Its very hard to realize that the topic in this book is so realistic. Meridith was molested by her father and now he has come back in to her life. With no escape and a si...
