rickjones 's review for:
You Were Never Really Here
by Jonathan Ames
dark
mysterious
sad
tense
fast-paced
While this book is pulse-pounding and well written, I wish I had never read it. For me, it was too emotionally harrowing to read a story about a girl who is sold into sex slavery where she is never rescued by the end of the novel. There's no end to the tension by the final lines, so it left me feeling really uneasy. I don't think I would recommend reading this, as I imagine most people I know would feel similarly disturbed by it.
