review 1: I thought Beautiful was a ok book because of how true it can be. She was a good girl who got sucked into some pretty nasty stuff. I thought that the fact Cassie thought her feelings were normal, when I think many people would have known that wasn’t. I would have like to know more about her past, but the mystery was true to the story. She didn’t ever think about it so why would the readers get to know? I think the story was mediocre but it was entertaining while it lasted.
review 2: So many things wrong with this book! First of all... Seventh grade and involved in drugs, sex and other bullshit! Unreal - don't get me wrong I know kids get into things (myself as a kid included) but this progression was all too fast. Second, for me the cover description lacked... more a connection to what happened in the book. This bad/abusive relationship she was involved in I think is between Cassie and Alex but Alex didn't really give a shit about her. Alex would leave her wherever and let her leave and not care so I fail to see this as an abusive relationship. I don't see the boyfriend as the abusive relationship and certainly not Sarah.Third, where did this Uncle Charlie come from?!?! Were we supposed to think there was previous abuse there? I fail to see the significance of introducing this character and so late in the book without drawing a clear line of connection to the other events in the book. Finally, how can parents be that blind - especially to a seventh grader. How do you not know that they are not coming home or even question things when she calls crying to be picked up in the middle of the night in a town she doesn't know....I mean REALLY!?! less
