Title: Creepily overhyped
Review: A flat and bewildering book relying heavily on the "underage girl seeking love and approval and getting abuse, some of which she likes" cliche. Nothing in this book is brave, insightful, or even well-observed, though it did remind me how much I liked PUSH by Sapphire, a book that actually seems to care about its young protagonist. Erian's TOWELHEAD simply kicks its sketchy main character through a numbing series of grotesque and improbable assaults - think Judy Blume if she was aiming for hipster notoriety.
