(4) YA A teen crumbling under the weight of familial pressure and responsibilities spirals into a life of prostitution in this anonymous "diary." The sensational topic will draw in some readers, but accepting the narrative as an authentic account requires some serious suspension of disbelief. Instead, this reads as a cautionary tale with a heartbreaking (but entirely predictable) ending.
