Explanation Conducive To Books Pretty Girl-13
Pretty Girl-13 is a disturbing and powerful psychological thriller about a girl who must piece together the story of her kidnapping and captivity and then piece together her own identity.When thirteen-year-old Angela Gracie Chapman looks in the mirror, someone else looks back--a thin, pale stranger, a sixteen-year-old with haunted eyes. Angie has no memory of the past three years, years in which she was lost to the authorities, lost to her family and friends, lost even to herself. Where has she been, who has been living her life, and what is hiding behind the terrible blankness? There are secrets you can’t even tell yourself.
With a tremendous amount of courage and support from unexpected friends, Angie embarks on a journey into the darkest corners of her mind. As she unearths more and more about her past, she discovers a terrifying secret and must decide: when you remember things you wish you could forget, do you destroy the people responsible, or is there another way to feel whole again?
Liz Coley’s alarming and fascinating psychological mystery is a disturbing—and ultimately empowering—page turner about accepting our whole selves, and the healing power of courage, hope, and love.

Longer review to come soon after finals crush my soul on Tuesday, but in short...What a thrilling ride and an amazing look inside Multiple personality Disorder, something to rarely discussed in the mental health world (or YA books, for that matter). I thought the author handled it very tastefully and obviously did her research. While I did think some of the main characters "other" personalities were a little far-fetched and not fully developed, overall this was a compelling read. HighlyI highly recommend this book. I was so engrossed in the book that I had no idea of the time. I finally realized I should probably get to sleep as it was 3am and I hadn't stopped. A tough and emotional read due to the themes it entailed but I was extremely impressed by the writing and delivery. I have always been very interested in the subject matter (I'm not going to say much more as I really don't want to give anything away). I will say it impressed me how much the author must have researched
This was such an interesting book. It reminded me a little of Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout. It's more creepy than scary, and there's a bunch of mystery. The plot was a little predictable for me. I liked the different views of the story and how it was written. It was definitely written differently and I enjoyed that. I wanted more from the story and the ending it was somewhat open-ended. We got an ending but not enough of one I felt like. Overall the book was good, it will definitely
I have had this book on my Goodreads shelf since right before I started blogging, but Ive only owned a copy of it for a few months. I am honestly kicking myself for not reading it sooner because it had EVERYTHING in it that I love. It was the perfect example of a dark contemporary, which I love. Dark, horrifying themes throughout the book. Things that made my stomach turn. It was actually very reminiscent of All Around the Town by Mary Higgins Clark. That was another book I absolutely loved. Its
Actual rating is 3.5, decided to go with the lower due to predictability.What a riot reading this book was! I have to say that I was surprised to check Goodreads and see that this book clocks in at just over 350 pages after reading my egalley. I breezed through Pretty Girl-13 so fast that I thought for sure it would be in the 200 page range. A story that plays games with your mind and keeps you wondering what will happen just around the corner with every page, this is not one to be missed for
This started really promising and the further in I got, the more ridiculous it got.So, in the preface, (view spoiler)[ I figured out that Angie had Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) from the writing alone. It wasn't that hard to piece together. The multiple voices inside, the way she referred to herself as "we," and the way the voices said they would protect her (hide spoiler)] as she went missing. (view spoiler)[ She'd been abducted from her Girl Scout camp. (hide spoiler)] Angie returns to
Can also be read on The Social Potato.Thank you Edelweiss and Katherine Tegen Books for the free copy of this novel in exchange for a review. This did not influence my review in any way.Despite the three stars I gave, I did somehow enjoy this. I love reading psychological thrillers, because I find the human psyche intimidating and fascinating, and books that explore this are far and few between. Liz Coley writes a rather unique approach to this with Pretty Girl-13, providing us, readers, a
