Unreal by Abigail Raines, Riley Moreno

2.0

This book could be very triggering for some.
A young woman name Julie and her friend Kim head off on a pre Real World road trip after college graduation.
They meet two guys who seem nice at first. But are sexual traffickers. The book is told from Julies pov.
So... OK. Where do I start? I'm with everyone who had issue with the editing.
The characters weren't fleshed out. A few seemed like caricatures.
There were a few things that made me suspend my belief. The mother and stepfather?
Kims mother when she went to see Julie? I can totally see her blaming Julie in her grief. But slapping her in a hospital with nurses milling around?
How Ethan wound up in the situation?
Ethan and Julie together didn't strike me as strange. Especially as her mother was a a piece of trash. He did also rescue her.
I would read the next in the series if I knew for sure the editing was better.
