Title: Ok but not what I expected.
Review: Until I got to this line, near the very end, I thought the book was ok, though I too was troubled by the too glib writing style and the touch of oversimplification and arrogance I felt the author displayed. Then, towards the very end, she wrote what may be the most offensive sentence I've ever read in a book: "I was never sexually abused as a child, probably because I wasn't pretty."What does appearance have to do with sexual assault at any age? This trivializes the experience of all sexual abuse survivors, and is just horrifying on so many levels I cannot believe her editor let it stand.It soured the whole book for me, which frankly wasn't that good to begin with, but until this point at least hadn't been horrifically offensive.
