Welcome to Litsy!

Good short story with a lot of detail until I wanted more detail. Ending was very abrupt. Glad I had already read Pretty Girls ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another short one. It‘s good. Girls/women have gone missing. Julia is 19. She has noticed the missing girls in the news and from the homeless shelter she volunteers at. She knows it can‘t happen to her.

Up next. There is at least 1 perk of being back in the office full time.

This was an additional short story tacked on the end of Pretty Girls, and is a prequel to that book. I can't see reading it without having read Pretty Girls first, but having read Pretty Girls, I found it completely unnecessary. It wasn't bad, just kind of meh.

I am a huge fan of Karin Slaughter books and this is another I can safely add to my loved it shelf!....Karin's writing has a way of capturing me from the first chapter. A haunting short read especially as I have already read Pretty Girls (this book is the prequel to it)..I am also glad I read it after reading Pretty Girls as knowing what happens in Pretty Girls made this short prequel even more haunting and scary to read. #tea_sipping_bookworm

This is the prequel to Pretty Girls, a very quick read. The MC here is (I think) one of the missing girls from Pretty Girls. It was frustrating to see this example of how some violent crimes like rape aren‘t often front-page-worthy but other crimes easily make the headlines.

I‘m heading straight into Pretty Girls next. It has been unread on my shelf for ages.

Really interesting prequel . can't wait to read pretty girls

It is interesting to me that Slaughter wrote this as, really, a short story. A topic that is so important and could have been expanded extensively. But it strikes me that even the brevity of this piece is significant in and of itself; a parallel, a representation of the story‘s message: rape and rape victims were not worthy of society‘s time.

This is my "audio read," now that I've finished "I'm Still Standing." I'm a Karin Slaughter fan, so I'm used to good and creepy things. I'm new to audio, though, so we'll see if I get as scared as usual.

Now...where's the shotgun....

Kidding. Kidding. The beast of Church Street keeps me safe day or night. As soon as I release his seat belt.

I got to listen to this short story as a bonus addition to Pretty Girls. It is the prequel to the novel & tracks Julia Carrol's last day. In many ways, I found it more powerful than the novel. It makes real what it is to be a woman feeling every man's eyes measuring her by her beauty, the scariness of the ever present threat of violence that many women feel from the world around them, the anger when men explain why women's problems aren't problems

Eerily read this book on March 4th, forgetting that was the date everything in Pretty Girls happened... what a crazy, weird happenstance.

Excited to read this short story!

This came at the end of Pretty Girls. Haunting to think of her last moments.

This is a prequel to Pretty Girls. It's at the end of the audiobook Pretty Girls. I sincerely hope she carries Pretty Girls into a second novel.
