Review: fast, engaging, and serious

Jessica is thirteen and has her first boyfriend. His name is Eric and he’s one of the most popular and handsome boys in the school. This is no dream relationship, though. He’s abusive, beating and raping her, and Jessica convinces herself that it’s normal, he loves her, and things will be better despite her constant discomfort. She receives a tremendous amount of pressure from her friends, who push her into being sexually active. The book moved fast, was engaging, and presented serious topics, but the grammatical errors were numerous and distracting.
