I was interested in understanding how a teenage girl would react to being used for sexual prostitution, and how she would manage it. The book presented graphic portrayals of sexual and physical violence. She was also blackmailed into continuing with the older teen whom she originally fancied as a boyfriend and at times struggled to maintain the fantasy that he cared about her. I wanted to know how long she would put up with it and what she would do to extract herself from her situation. The mess became more complicated toward the end of the book. There was no resolution but a promise of more books in the series which suggested more of the same. I was particularly bothered by the poor spelling and grammar which greatly distracted me from the story. The author addressed the grammar issue in a forward and claimed to have left it with the errors as a way to portray the narrator’s adolescent thinking. I don’t buy it. To me, the errors seemed to be those of the author rather than the protagonist. This is one of those books to be tasted but not chewed, swallowed or digested.
