Gratuitous

I ordered this book for book club and found the first half engrossing. Beautifully written. The second half was not as well conceived. The amount of awful things happening to the characters become onerous. I didn't see where they helped with plot nor story. Overall, meh. However the plight of girls in Asia is one we should pay attention to and the horrors of human trafficking need to be brought to light. I hat wish the second half of the book Lee us on the journey the first half did.
