Blurb:
Damaged Girls is about ill-fitted relationships and how it affects
their families. This is not your typical romance story. Steven Briggs is an
older man who only has eyes for younger woman or should I say girls around 16
years of age. He will manipulate any situation to get what he wants and,
unfortunately, the women he wants are not wise enough to know better.
Review:
Every so often a book comes along that for
some reason effects you emotionally and, for me, this was that book. We can all
relate to this book because we know or knew of a girl who was treated so wrongly
and/or a man who did the ill treatment, like the characters in this book. Then
we ask ourselves, why do people manipulate others and why do others allow themselves
to be manipulated. Life is hard enough and these girls made their lives so much
harder by staying in unhealthy relationships.
From the first chapter, as narrated my
Morgan whom I liked, I needed to know more of what was going to happen next.
Off the bat, I did not like Morgan's friend, 35 y/o Steven at all. He sickened
me by only wanting little girls who were barely sixteen as he watched and
waited until they were legal enough for him to pounce. If he could have had
them younger he would have. The two main female characters, Jessica and Jillian
are taken on a roller coaster ride of mistreatment under the spell of Steven
just to be with him. Jessica, 16, defies her parents and Jillian will take what
little crumbs he throws at her since she has gotten too old for him at the ripe
old age of 21! This book is about coming of age, misguided love and emotional
hardship
Once again Janice G Ross throws caution to
the wind by producing a book regarding a subject matter which
hits home for a lot of us. The descriptive writings the author chooses is so
distinct it’s almost considered unique and the flow of the story keeps the
reader engrossed, in such a way, you are finished with the book before you know
it. The author has an amazing ability to capture raw emotions and portray them
on paper. The book was compelling, emotionally riveting and I highly recommend
it!
*****/5
