Meredith was promised nine years of safety, but they only gave her three. Her father, who was sent to prison for sexually abusing Meredith and other children in the small town, has been released early on good behaviour. He was supposed to be locked up until Meredith's eighteenth birthday, when she would be free of her abusive father and her delusional mother, who dwells on a fantasy that the three of them will be a happy family once more. But Meredith is only fifteen, and her father is out of prison…and her mother is bringing him home. And Meredith won't let him hurt her, or anyone else, ever again. No matter what the cost. Lyrical, suspenseful, and emotionally shattering, SUCH A PRETTY GIRL is the compelling story of one young woman's painful fight for survival - and her journey back to herself.

"It was perfect because it made you want to know what happened. You felt for for character and hated the father. You are also super happy at the end!!"

"Wonderful and horrible at the same time. This book is wonderfully written yet, for anyone not used to these kinds of books, it may seem horrible and scary. I love this book so much, it's one of my favorites of all time. "
