Wow!  This book is amazing...well I say amazing but I only gave it four stars.   Why you may ask?  Because some bits of it confused me but not too much otherwise I would have put this as a DNF!

Pretty Girl-13 is about a girl scout who got kidnapped in the woods of her girl scout camp only to emerge three years later and three years older with no memory of the last three years.  Everything's changed for Angie, her mother, her father, her friends, herself!  So she goes to a psychologist who helps her put the pieces together.

This book jumped out at me for two reasons...one, she is a girl scout (I'm a scout...I know scouts and girl scouts are very different but they come from virtually the same family). And two because of the whole missing memory thing.

I had never read anything from Liz Coley so I didn't have any expectations of her writing.   This book is in third person which for me is quite weird because I'm more used to reading novels in first person but I went along with it and wasn't disappointed.  Also the way did her research showed in this book as the whole theme was  about Dissociative identity disorder (DID) or Multiple Personality Disorder.

There was parts of the book where I read it and could tell what was going to happen next and for me that spoilt it because it wasn't as much of a shock  when I was right.  Also some points within the multiple personalities, confused me of what their role was.  

Liz Coley chose to include some themes which could be a bit in appropriate depending on the time and place you read it.  Overall I give this book Four out of Five.
