I'm not curious at all to find out what happened to Lizzy. It is sad that at the age of nine, she is subjected to a very terrifying form of sex education.

A nine-year old girl being introduced to sex in the manner described shows there os a lot that is not right. With the ending being unclear, I would rather skip it. I am also a father to a nine-year old girl.

This sounds like a great short read! From this well written review and the sample I read, I'm already interested and glad the book was free so I could continue reading the whole story! And it sounds like it's the kind of book that you can vision what you're reading. That while reading, it turns into a movie in your head.
Can't wait to read this BOTD!

This piece sounds hilarious. Who teaches their kid about sex by letting them watch cow sex. I laughed hard reading this review. Great job!

This book seems quite disturbing to me. That is now how you teach a 9-year-old kid about sex!
Parents tend to do such things only to avoid some awkward conversations with their kids not thinking of how it can affect them!
Thanks for a great review though!

The title is Lizy baby but the story not for children.. Christianity and sex it's an extreme contrast.. I dont prefer to critizice anything and it's not my subject, by the way that was a nice review.congrats on BOTD.

This is a shocking book. I was surprised by how Lizzy was raised by her parents. This is quite an intriguing story.
Reading is a journey to the world.

This sounds like a dark story of little girl who goes through a hard experience in life. Reading about a nine year old going through this is disturbing for me so I'd rather skip this. Congrats on BOTD!!

I think this sounds so emotional and powerfuI. However, I might remember my personal experience with bullying and sexual assault if I read this novel. Although I moved on already since it's part of the past and I'm a changed person. Anyway, looking forward to read this novel!

This topic spoken about in this book is a very sensitive one and also one we really do need to educate people about. Sexual molestation happens so often even though many victims do not report it. This is something that needs to be eradicated from humanity. It's very sad and speaks little of humans. So let's pick up this book and fuel our resolve to put an end to sexual molestation in the human race. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD.

This fictional book is on a topic that most writers neglect which is sex education. I’m hoping the author educates the minor audience properly and also the parents or guardian of these minors. I hope nothing happened between Joey and Lizzy.

Was Lizzy's parents right to allow her to learn about sex in that manner? The perspective of the book is a little disturbing to me.

I find some of the contents of this book disturbing. Is letting a nine-year-old watch animals having sex the best way to teach her about sex? I hope the author properly addressed these issues. Thanks.

I appreciate a good character-driven story but the abrupt ending does not seem appealing. Thanks for the great review!
