The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe

Rating: 3/5

Summary:

The book is about a girl named Nora, which her mom is trying so hard to raise her to be a perfect con-artist. But, that doesn’t define what she really is. But unfortunately she got hold hostage in a bank robbery and have to survive with her friends from the skills she gained and the lessons she's learned.

Strengths:

I really liked how her friends, Iris and Wes, really were caring about Nora and how strong the bond between them is. They were the reason Nora finally knew who she really was and found her lost self.

Weaknesses:

A weakness is that the plot of the novel was mainly focusing on sexual and physical abuse that Nora been through. This was very hard to handle and made it difficult to continue reading.

My Opinion:

Overall, I think the novel was not bad. I would recommended it for someone who wants to read about someone who goes through hard times in their past and finally reaches a successful end for them.
