5.0 out of 5 stars It Could Happen To You Too!, February 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: It Happened To Nancy (Confident Collector) (Mass Market Paperback)

Most teenage girls do not think that they could be or would be raped. That is exactly what Nancy thought, until it happened to Nancy. One night Nancy was at a concert, tripped and had an asthma attack. That's when the wonderful and charming Collin came along and saved her, or so she thought. The night came when she could be alone with Collin in her house. That night, Collin got her drunk and forced Nancy in her mother's bed. Although Nancy was screaming and crying, no one was there to help her and Nancy was raped. About three months after Nancy was raped, she was infected with the HIV-AIDS virus. Nancy was a very brave and special teenager who battles her way throught the HIV-AIDS virus with a weekened immune system. The one thing that is noticed in the book is Nancy's emotions. In her diary she tells about all of her feelings and her point of view on many subjects. It Happened To Nancy is a book that can change people's decisions on how they act as a teenager or a young adult. This book helps you to realize how serious rape is. Rape can not only hurt or change a person's life, but it can kill someone as well. This book is very emotional and touching, and would be enjoyed by someone who like to read about true stories on peoples' lives.

It Happened to Nancy was a great book! I would recomend everyone to read this book. It has taught me a lot of information that I could use when I get older. I also liked this book, because it is from a teens point of view and I am a teen that could relate to her. She sounds like she has been through a lot of struggles and I understand what she was going through. I mean, the stuff that happened to Nancy, has never happened to me, but I can imagine what she was going through in her rough times. I think everyone should take time out and read this book.
