A review by misshayleyam
Dime by E. R. Frank

4.0

When I first picked this book up I was very clear that this wasn't going to be an easy subject because it is something that truly goes on in the world. I have read another similar book with in the past year and loved it so I thought this would be a good kick off from there. The first half of the book was very slow and I found myself hating Dime and thinking that she was being very dumb for staying with Daddy and falling in love with him and not being smart enough to put things together that a "pimp" is not going to care about his "hos" he cares about his money. She falls into that you can be book smart but street stupid category of characters that makes me some times hate YA books. The second half of the book once she finally makes the realization that he is using her to get his own sick twisted rocks off makes me feel kind of bad for her. The ending of this book though (without giving too much away) make me have to put down the book multiple times because I wanted to scream because there were so many ways things could have been different and the final few pages made me want to scream cry and throw the book. Over all an amazingly emotional book and I'm glad that I took the time to read it.
