Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Wiess


Supposedly this was published for adults but I don't buy it. It's buy MTV books and Baker and Taylor, amazon, and everyone says it's for teens. So maybe it's for teens over the age of 18? Is that it? It IS a young adult novel. Meredith has been sexually abused by her father. And he is coming back to her condo complex after three years in jail. That's right. Her mother is freaky and wants to start over and make a family. Have a new baby. Forget what happened. It's all Meredith's fault anyway. I mean, those other kids who were abused, had to be lying, right?

Meredith deals with it. She gets help from a cop in her neighborhood who gives her nanny cameras and her paralyzed boyfriend Andy, who was also abused by Meredith's father.

This one is DRAMA and SUSPENSE and WHOA. Be prepared to sit and read until you finish it!
