Absolutely despicable book. Multiple attempts of rape, sexual harassment of the 16-year-old Pamela, kidnapping and imprisonment of her, gaslighting and blaming her for everything happening to her while all she wants is to get back to her poor parents. I wanted to stop reaading so many times and needed to take many breaks. There is SO much abuse in the first half of the book.
