While this book covers a heavy issue (sex abuse/sex trafficking), it also shoehorns in extra issues...like one isn't enough. Abusive relationships, sexting, kids with dead parents, parents in prison.... 
 What would have been wrong with just sensitively dealing with one issue? 
 Plus, it was treated too cleanly. The language was cleaned up, which just felt contrived. And the names, good gravy, the names. Magnificent Significant? UGH. Mercedes Ford? Diamond? This just comes across as DESPERATELY cliche. 
 If you're going to use gritty subject matter, it just sounds incredibly weak to write it so tritely. I have always heard good things about Draper's work...but this was so immensely disappointing. It was like reading an after-school special. A poorly-written cautionary tale with a lot of cliche characters thrown in to appeal to an audience that, truthfully, will see through its inauthenticity.
