I'm massively flailing right now. Granted, a book like this could go either way, but isn't such a statement true of any book? The synopsis hits several of my interest points.Reminiscent of the Elizabeth Smart case, Pretty Girl-13 is a disturbing and powerful psychological mystery about a girl who must piece together the story of her kidnapping and captivity.
Angie Chapman was thirteen years old when she ventured into the woods alone on a Girl Scouts camping trip. Now she's returned home…only to find that it's three years later and she's sixteen-or at least that's what everyone tells her.
What happened to the past three years of her life?
Angie doesn't know.
But there are people who do—people who could tell Angie every detail of her forgotten time, if only they weren't locked inside her mind. With a tremendous amount of courage, Angie embarks on a journey to discover the fragments of her personality, otherwise known as her "alters." 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 parts of yourself that are responsible?
Kidnappings? BAM.
Trauma-based amnesia? BAM.
Mysteries? BAM.
Alternate personalities?! BAM!
I am so, so, so there.

Haha, thanks?
DeleteI thought this one sounded interesting too, but the reviews I read of it on GoodReads leave me on the fence...looking forward to hearing what you think about it if you get a chance to read it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the tricky thing about wishlists. I don't know if I'll actually like my choices!

DeleteI thought about grabbing this for review, but have been in the mood to read some of my older TBR books. I hope that you like it when you get to read it. I will read it at some point, I'm sure.
