Broken Beauty Chloe Adams ★☆★ I recieved this novella from netgalley in return for an honest review This is a very sad and tragic novel. It does have to deal with the sensitive issue of rape. If that is something that scares you or just don't want to read about then I wouldn't read this novella. This book is about Mia who is tragically our rape victim. Her father is a politician which basically means she is rich and very well known. As for her dad I wamt to punch him in every svene he is in. I want to say I don't believe things would really roll out the way they did in this story, but sadly I don't know if that is true. Her father seemed to worry about his image than what happened to his own daughter. My heart hurt for Mia through out the entire book. it felt as though she had no one. I don't know how to go about writting this review. the book was good. the topic very sensitive, but the author did an excellent job with it. I think maybe my biggest complaint is the cliffhanger. I also don't like her dad one bit I really wish Mia had someone and I would have liked that person being her dad. Thats his little girl and she is hurt and in need. But I also know that was the role he played in this novel. I don't honestly know if I will read the next novella, not because I didnt like it. I really did. I love how this didnt end with " and they live happily ever after" it all seems so real. the author made this all realistic maybe for me it was all too realistic. its just a topic I prefer not to read about because of the mood it put me in This book cut me to shreds, it chewed me up and is still chewing on my emotions. It is a strong, powerful and intense novella, part of a series, about Mia and how one night has changed her life forever. Be warned that it deals with the sensitive issue of rape and how it affects the victim and it does end on a cliffhanger. Mia’s story will be told in 6 instalments over the next 12 months. I can only imagine what it must be like to be in that situation and I felt that this book gave me a disturbing insight into that shocking experience and the aftermath. To me it was so beautifully written that it made me feel like I was reading an incredibly detailed account of a deeply personal story. As if the rape is not tragic enough, Mia lives in a very public world as her father is a senator. She is stifled by her fathers ‘team’ from telling the whole story, and this just tore my heart in two, to read the sort of upbringing she has had and family life she leads. I really felt Mia’s emotions as she processes what has happened to her and her utter helplessness and anger over what has happened since. Through it all she is a really strong young woman and I am fully invested in her story. Although this novella is only 78 pages long, the author really packed a lot of emotion and storyline into it, making it feel longer. I was rung out by the last page but I want to know more. I want to know how Mia survives this, I want to know more about Dom, I want to know if her father has a heart, I want to know that victims in this situation obtain the justice they so deserve. In short, I want the next novella to be released soon. copy kindly provided by Netgalley and the publisher This was tough and infuriating to read. Incredibly well written and totally captures the ignorance, asshole-ness, and full out stupidity of current politicians that discuss such bunk as "legitmate rape." My heart broke for Mia, over and over and over again. Having money doesn't mean you have a good life. Not only is she a victim of rape to two fucking assholes who should have their penises chopped off, but then she's victimized again and again by her father, her father's lackeys, her uncle, her shrink, everyone. Why? Because daddy is a politician and running a campaign. What makes me sick is that this story happens EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and you have fucktarded women like Shea who writes shit that makes the VICTIM claim responsibility for her own rape. This rape culture in the United States needs to stop. IT NEEDS TO STOP. I'm disgusted. My stomach is twisting. My heart is breaking for this young teenage girl whose father is seemingly going to force her to carry her rapist's baby because he fed her some bunk about legitimate rape...how a woman's body will not allow a pregnancy if raped. Are you kidding me?! For every single politician who said anything REMOTELY like this (I'm looking at you Todd Akin of Missouri, you dumb fuck), I suggest you go back to school and think about how you would feel if any of those victims were your wives, your sisters, your daugthers, your mothers. Oh, unless you're like Mia's dad. Then I guess you just don't give a shit and will use the experience to bolster your ratings, huh? Assholes. Shit. This book is raw and powerful and was really really hard to read. And it isn't even over yet. This was just scratching the surface. *sigh* This is a far cry from my normal reviews, isn't it? This book will piss you off though. You will be so mad at the people surrounding Mia. Maybe it will be an eyeopener to you to our current culture. It even happens here on goodreads where authors and reviewers are being told to "go get raped" or "should be sodomized". ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I would not usually read something that could possibly play on my mind but after reading the prologue I got stuck in and was drawn into Mia's privileged, yet tragic, life. The characters pull you into the story which in turn breaks your heart and infuriates you - or it did me.
I'm not sure if or how this could be used as an educational text but after reading the prologue and subsequent novella I would definitely say this would be possible. ( )
