Why read it?
1 author picked Being Lolita as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I resonated with this memoir of teen grooming because I saw myself in it and I felt less alone, like I had found a kindred spirit. Many details of our stories are different, but the core wounding from being taken advantage of by an older more powerful man felt the same.
