rhyttinen 's review for:

Me And Emma by Elizabeth Flock

---

The only reason I read this novel was because it was our book club's monthly selection. That being said, I will admit right-off that I am not a fan of novels whose story revolves child abuse (or any kind of physical abuse, for that matter) or child rape so that was a checkmark against it right off. The story wasn't too bad although it was a bit clichéd I thought (poor southern family with children being abused by the stepfather). The twist at the end helped bump up my rating to 2 1/2 stars.
