I actually like the book, wrote simply but powerfully. It's a very short read which disappointed me, I really wanted to know what happened to her after. 
 I did read Pretty Girl -13 maybe 2/3 years ago and so I was afraid it would be the same sort of book so I kept pushing the time I will have to open this book. And now, I'm left regretting not having reading it a long time ago. 
 I read in some other reviews that it was very graphic, sure it's not a book for children but there nothing graphic it's all say with simple, everyday, words. I was afraid about the whole detailed and graphic part, since it involve abuse, a child and all. I honestly read way worst with Abandoned or Mummy Knew books. 
 I hope I won't sound too horrible, but I actually like (view spoiler)[the fact she was willing to help him to get Lucy. It was so realist and so haunting. I would have hated it if the author would have written 'Alice' as Lucy's savior and protector. (hide spoiler)] It make so so much sense, she was his victims for years, she was manipulated for years, traumatized, so of course she would do and oblige his desires. 
 I think for this and the way he made her loses all her want to see her family again were the most realist part of the book. 
 I'm still wondering (view spoiler)[ why she randomly gave oral to two random boys at two different occasion. That and the fact Ray let her do it and 'just' beat her. Shouldn't he be more possessive or afraid she would get some STD or I don't know what? (hide spoiler)]
