Question C

[Jonetta]

Were you hopeful, in the beginning, that things wouldn’t get too bad for Lucy? Were you surprised at the authenticity of her experience?

[Lauren]

While I was hopeful that it wouldn't be too bad, based on the descriptions of what happened to Paige, I knew it would be bad.

It was too authentic and for me, over the top and unnecessary for this particular genre.

[Anita]

I was just sick that the violence against her was so bad. The graphic nature of the depiction was a little much

[Melissa]

I'll admit that I was hopeful. I agree with Anita though, the graphic nature made me squirm. It usually doesn't, but it really did this time.

[Jonetta]

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as I thought it would be but it sort of lived up to my expectations when I learned she’d be online. It actually wasn’t as graphic as I felt it could be.

[Anita]

What made the violence so bad for me was that Lucy was an innocent. A curious, adventuresome kid, but sheltered and innocent. Yeah, her family all told her that the world wasn't a very nice place, but she hadn't experienced that.

[Karen ♐]

Based on what happened to Paige, I think I was prepared for what happened to Lucy. I agree, Jonetta, I didn't think it was as graphic as I thought it would be.
