crabbygirl 's review for:
The Virgin Cure
by Ami McKay
everyone knows what the virgin cure is, and with the main character of the book being sold - first into servitude, then into whoredom -you just know what is going to happen.
and so you spend a great deal of time holding your breath - trying not to care too deeply for a character that is going to get the titular comeuppance.
in the end, i mostly feel ambivalence about this novel. ok, the main character escapes the title, but her sweet, innocent friend does not. and then this main character parlays her beauty into a huge payout. i doubt there could have been THAT happy an ending (forgetting of course, the innocent friend - which is what the main character - rich and maybe now able to offer some comfort - does)
the more i think about it, the less ambivalent i feel - that main character is a fraud.
