Title: Pure
Product review: Ugh. What a waste of time. I also picked up this book because of the back cover's recommendations. I spent the whole time saying, 'Do British girls really grow up that differently than American ones? Would parents really let a supposedly 27 year old man take their 14 year old daughters virginity right upstairs while they watch tv? Do I really believe that some girl is going to cut herself up and let boys feel her up when her family life is not that bad?' (Her parents argue, but there is no mention of sexual abuse.)I just found everything so irritating and unbelievable. I was incredibly disappointed and frustrated that I wasted the time it took to get through this mess. Not once did the author generate any sympathy for the main character. Maybe that was her intent. How does a 16 year old come up with this ugliness? (I also really enjoyed She's Come Undone and I found no similarities between the two.)
