― Laura Wiess, Such a Pretty Girl
I would have to say Such a Pretty Girl is one of my favorite books I've read so far. It has everything a good book should have mischief, things that make you wonder, things that make you ponder, it shows the violence that some people have within them, and much more.
Such a Pretty Girl deals with a serious subject, sexual abuse, from the point of view of a girl (Meridith) who was abused by her father. Meredith’s mother: she the type of lady who believes in forgetting and forgiving. She also takes her husband side other than her owns daughter. She thinks that Meredith made it up in her mind, that her husband could have never, even though she knows it's all true. Meredith’s grandmother: she’s the kind of lady who believe in justice. She takes Meredith into her house to take her away from the dangers of Meredith own home; well at least she tries. Andy: a paralyzed boy (Meredith’s boyfriend). He was also raped by Meredith’s father.
Other from Meredith's grandmother, Andy, & one other; Meredith had no way out. Her own mother brought him into the house once again. Her father was supposed to be locked up until Meredith turned eighteen (sentenced nine years). She thought she had time to grow up, get out, and start a new life but her dad came out sooner (Only served three years).
Story ends with her freedom from him, him in the hospital, her mother getting arrested but coming out on bail and back to the man who should not even be called a father; right by his side & unworried of her daughter. So far best story I've read.
