Pure, by Rebbecca Ray

Pure is about a fourteen-year-old, unnamed narrator who is known as the dangerous, provocative girl at school. After begging her dad to buy her a stereo, they visit the electronics store where she meets Oliver, a twenty-seven-year-old salesman who is going nowhere in life. They soon start having an unconventional affair, where the narrator claims she is growing into her own skin and becoming the woman she always wanted to be. I don't recommend this book because I think the narrator doesn't explain her actions well, and her morals are not fully intact. This story has no moral or lesson, and is overall a disappointment. The plot and characters aren't fully developed. It is a sloppy book that is hard to follow and understand. - Reviewed by Ina, grade 9. .
