I'm A Girl

by Amicus

Tomboy Jenna woke up one morning at the end of her senior year in high school and declared, “I’m a girl!” Something inside her clicked and, for the first time, she wanted to embrace and explore all things feminine. Her mother, thrilled with Jenna’s newfound sense of womanhood, provided her with a skirt to wear to school—it had to be a skirt! Jenna insisted! Her blossoming femininity was almost immediately squelched, however, first by an incident at school, and then, in an even more horrifying incident in her own home. When her twin brother, Jimmie, returned to find his sister broken and violated, he knew he would do anything to help her. But how far will Jimmie really go? Will he be able to go to the lengths his sister says she needs? And together, will they be able to find their way through the horror, pain and heartache, back to a place of healing and even love?

It's hard to review this book. There are some very disturbing scenes were hard for me to get through. At the same time these scenes were vital for me as a reader to understand why things happened as they did in the story. I can't say much without spoiling it but i was not at all disturbed or uncomfortable with the portrayal of incest in the story. My only wish was for it to be longer or perhaps a sequel to follow.

Can I really say I read this? I skipped over the rape, which seemed to take up a third of the story.. The incest didn't bother me so much. Which I feel dirty even saying. Cause incest DOES, of course, bother me. However the story overall sucked. The idea that she just wakes up and thinks "I am a girl, I have to change everything about me," is ridiculous. Then flaunting her mini skirt and too small blouse. And her MOM picked out a school girl outfit? Rape isn't EVER a the victims fault, but the writer set it up that way. Like she is hot now so the guys have to have her. Rape happens but this was outlandish. It can't just be horrible experience either, no she has to orgasm during the rape. It's erotic fiction. But I guess i've learned that rape, violence and incest are a total turn off. Throw in a bad story, bad basis to said story, and overall crappy writing, and it's not just a turn off, it is eye gougingly bad. Wish I never wasted the hour it took to read it bad. I could go on. For the record I like erotica. I like fantasies. A little Weirdness in an erotic fiction is great. This was just too much for me.

This book was disturbing which I expected. The storyline just did not seem to work for me.
