Trauma porn. I could handle the first terrible thing but I draw the line at quasi-incestuous rape of a minor.

The thing to keep in mind about reviews is that they are based on the state of the reader’s emotions and experiences…. With that said, it is a good story. A bit difficult to follow at first with the connection between the two main characters not coming until much later in the story. Overall, I would say it is a story about finding yourself and loving yourself before you can love anyone else.

There’s not a lot of time spent on the inappropriate Adult/child relationship.

The main character feels they must engage in the act in order to escape a bad situation.

joelletribbiani's review against another edition

Really gross scene where the main character (16) and a new acquaintance agree to get off a family friend for $300. That and the juvenile writing.
