❆ Crystal ❆ asked this question about Pretty Girls:

Why aren't there some warnings that is has dark subject matter, torture, rape and violence to women? I assumed that it would skirt around some issues... You know it's happening, but it's not really detailed. But, that's not the case. There is some really touchy subject matter in this book and it may not appeal to everyone. I think there needs to be a warning to just people know.

I never heard of the book and absent mindedly picked it up at SAMS of all places.... sounded interesting. I love a good read. And it was a GREAT READ...I do agree you need the detail, you need the entire story to make it 'real'...but I would have liked a disclaimer in the very beginning. There are more of us than you realize out there.(less)
