Members Reviews:

The last of a great Trilogy

This is a very engaging novel. The weaving of the story of the Tallentire family across the generations and the action packed world in which they lived has the effect of promoting nostalgia and thoughtfulness about how the world changed so fast for one community and family. A splendid read.

Title: Pretty Thing

Author: Jennifer Nadel

Narrator: Katy Sobey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-02-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

When 15-year-old Becs meets Bracken, she is convinced she's found her soul mate. So what if he's much older? He understands her, she feels free with him and when he holds her she feels safe. But is she?

Some young women in the area have been sexually assaulted. It's the talk of the school. And when Bec's best friend, Mary-Jane, becomes his latest victim, the true dangers hit home: just as Rebecca is starting to wonder about her future with Bracken, poor M-J rapidly shrinks away from life....

Set during the sweltering-hot summer of 1976, Pretty Thing is a powerful coming-of-age novel, a story of first encounters, dark obsession, broken trust and last chances. It pits true love against real life and asks: is love really all you need?

Members Reviews:

Poignant

This was a beautifully evocative story, quite heart wrenching but so atmospheric and with an authentic sense of place, I was left feeling vaguely melancholy at the end.

We meet Becs â Becs is a child of the 70âs, she and best friend MJ roam their world fairly carefree. Then Becs meets Bracken, he is older and intriguing and she falls in love. Meanwhile MJ experiences a traumatic assault and begins to withdraw from her life.

It is quite difficult to capture the ambience of this novel in a review â it is elegantly written and the characters are brought to vivid life. Becs is a typical teenager, coming of age and to an awakening of her emotions, led towards adulthood possibly way too early by her interaction and relationship with Bracken. This has the added affect that she misses how unwell and deeply disturbed MJ is becoming â the friendship falters just at the time that it is most needed.

This flows beautifully, it pretty much has its own soundtrack, the musical memories interwoven into the plot giving it that added frission, the setting is beautifully described and realistically drawn. Set against this backdrop is a tale of friendship, love and growing up, the decisions we make that can define us and the true nature of hindsight. The very definition of a coming of age tale, I would highly recommend this.

**Publisher Review Copy UK**

from FictionZeal.com re: Pretty Thing by Jennifer Nadel

This has been called a coming of age story. To me, it is a coming of a nightmare for fifteen-year-old friends Rebecca (Becs) and Mary Jane. On the same night Becs sneaks out to join some friends at a club, Mary Jane decides to stay home with her family. Becs meets Bracken who is nearly twice her age while the next morning, Mary Jane encounters a man who forces her to touch him. Such was the encounter that Mary Jane never did get over it. Becs continues to meet Bracken, even feeling proud when her friends see she has a grown man interested in her. Becs is the protagonist and I kept thinking sheâd wake up or some adult would intercede to make her realize that when youâre fifteen, a relationship with a twenty-nine-year-old man is just too out there. Becs mother had left her father and her to fend for themselves. Neither ever recouped. Becs father was too wrapped up in him own emotions to provide any solid foundation for Becs. So, Becs was very vulnerable.

This could be considered historical fiction as it is set in 1976. There are certain things that even in fiction, they are still true. Oranges are still oranges; apples are still apples. And â statutory rape is still statutory rape! However, in this novel, it appears as true love and romance.

Intriguing book

I really enjoyed reading this but I also found it to be quite bizarre. I found it to be dark, but thought-provoking. I've always felt I had a good, broad vocabulary, but this book contains so many words I've never come across before. I hope my Kindle doesn't have a limit on how many words I can look up over its lifetime since I used the dictionary feature many times while reading this book. So in addition to a good read, I also got an education. Thank you.

Not to my liking

Unfortunately I didn't get too far through this book before I lost complete interest. I wanted to like it bit I just couldn't get into it

Beautiful, A Great Read

A beautifully written tale in which the protagonist tries to escape his somber existence through the commonly accepted channels of happiness, and finds himself â

Vibrant details, relatable characters, and smoothly embedded bits of wisdom make Bound Before the Morrow a great read.

INTERESTING!

Very interesting book. I actually enjoyed it. Different concept in looking at life.

One Star

Thought it was awful.

A Wonderful Story

I very much enjoyed reading The Tree House. This is a wonderful story that talks about the freedom to become whatever one wants to be, and being exposed to as many possibilities in life. The authorâs excellent writing has a prose that is deeply satisfying. Emma marries her professor at the age of thirty. The only trouble is that her professor husband dies with secrets left for her to discover. When a vagrant woman arrives on her property Emmaâs life takes on another direction. I donât want to give away anymore of the plot and let the readers discover for themselves this novella gem.

Unexpectedly Loved This Book - Quirky, intriguing with a bit of literary mixed in

I was looking for Jessica's other books when I found this title in the Kindle Store. I tried the sample and within 2 pages I knew this would be a great read. Events immediately take a turn into the unexpected in the first chapter, and I loved seeing the world through the eyes of the protagonist. She asks herself alot of questions as she moves ahead to a new life and new experiences (I guess I can relate to that).

The story isn't written strictly for commercial appeal. In fact this story has more of a literary style than the last 5-8 books I've read. I think the difference is those authors intended to write the next great book that sells (some were really entertaining, but didn't delight me or have intellectual appeal). Seeing Jessica's list of previous publications on her site, it makes sense that she's a writer with a story to unfold (not necessarily to craft for sales).

I chose not to reveal what happens in the story to allow it to magically unfold its surprises. I find it interesting that the early reviewers are all from Massachusetts (?!) for some reason. Well, I'm from Montana...but oops!... I grew up in Massachusetts. Makes me wonder what that connection's about, but I think that readers from other places will enjoy this book, too. A whole-hearted five stars.

Left me wanting more!

This is a wonderful short read. The story is written in a unique style with unusual characters. I was drawn into the fast moving plot at once and wanted more even after surprising information surfaces and the novella comes to an end. I feel there's more to the story and wanted more, but the author gives us a reason to pause and consider what we know by concluding the story the way she does. I hope to see more works by this talented author.

Could not put it down.

This book is wonderful! The writing is excellent and the descriptive detail the author uses makes you feel that you are right there with Emma.
