About this listen

When rebellious teenager Misty Sullivan falls pregnant to a local wannabe gangster, she soon becomes a prisoner in her own home. Despite the betrayal of her best friend, she eventually recovers her self-belief and plots revenge on her abusive boyfriend with spectacular consequences.

This gripping tale sees the impressive debut of Karen Woods in the first of a series of novels based on characters living on a Manchester council estate. Themes of social deprivation, self-empowerment, lust, greed and envy come to the fore in this authentic tale of modern life.

Good storyline. Narrator not suited to this book though. Weird ending, felt a little rushed to finish the story

Meh

The story was good, I’m from Manchester and I could relate to a lot of what I listened to however the narrator spoilt it for me. The story was far fetched in parts also. Certain things just didn’t add up

Narrator wrong choice

What a well out together story, you can empathize with this young girl from the start and only cringe and the choices she makes thinking this is what love is. It feels like there could be a follow on to this but if it were it would only mean that further heartache was in store so it's best left as it is. The one pity is there are a few intrusive sounds on the recording and it seems to skip towards the end so I'm unsure if some vital part to this story is missed. But that said it was an excellent story and so well narrated so it would be a shame to miss out on it.

This could do with a trigger warning at beginning of narrative as it is rather graphic throughout. The story is unfortunately so close to what many experience but this was portreyed and certainly well doc
