Every girl gets one.
An XVI tattoo on the wrist--sixteen.
Some girls can't wait to be sixteen, to be legal. Nina is not one of them. Even though she has no choice in the matter, she knows that so long as her life continues as normal, everything will be okay.
Then, with one brutal strike, Nina's normal is shattered; and she discovers that nothing that she believed about her life is true. But there's one boy who can help--and he just may hold the key to her past.
But with the line between attraction and danger as thin as a whisper, one thing is for sure...
For Nina, turning sixteen promises to be anything but sweet
Thoughts
I found the premise of this story to be so intriguing, I also found it to be a cautionary tale against the sexualisation to 16 year olds.I did find this to be such a quick read, and I found it such a good story that i think all young women should read, to show the dangers of oversexuality in teenagers, and how much the media throws it out into the public domain.
I loved Nina, and found her to be a really good character who was fighting against the system.
Overall a really good book that I couldn't put down.
