"Like her equally gripping debut (Such a Pretty Girl), Wiess's suspense story delivers an outsize jolt of adrenaline. …the final moments of the book unfold with a bang and a twist… Wiess's clear insight into the evolution of victim into perpetrator and her layered storytelling bump up the subject to a much more challenging playing field." – Publishers Weekly, 2008

SUCH A PRETTY GIRL
MTV BOOKS/S&S


"This terrifying, powerful novel of child abuse and molestation is told by fifteen year-old Meredith as it is happening. Her voice is whip-smart, self-aware and full of dry humor... This novel is perfectly paced, the momentum never slowing as it races toward the inevitable showdown. Mature teens who enjoy realistic fiction with an edge will devour it." 4Q 4P S -- VOYA, 2006
