Helpful Score: 2

The book that scandalized Italy! I wasn't so put off as some other readers by her age as I found myself feeling sorry for her - her view of men and attitude towards love and being loved is so typically that of a troubled teen girl. She confuses the search for love with meaningless sex, thinking that the way one finds love and respect is through giving oneself physically to strangers - a mistake that admittedly, a lot of young women make. Even at the end when she is imploring God that her new suitor deliver her from the terrible deviance and vileness that has been her life, I couldn't feel sorry for her - it is a life that she consciously sought at every corner, whether she believed that or not. Not a fan of women believing that they are victims of circumstance when they've brought it on themselves. Nonetheless, the story was mildly entertaining, if not at all erotic (in my opinion.)
