The thing I really liked about this book is the back and forth from “before” and “after”. Some books try this and it gets confusing; this one gets it right! I think it helps that the “before” is in 3rd person and the “after” is first person. Nena’s story is INTENSE! While some parts are very graphic, I found it was necessary to get the full scope of how Nena ended up where she was. I can’t wait for the 2nd book!
Graphic: Sexual violence, Trafficking, Kidnapping, Murder, Rape, and Torture
