The V Girl is a Dystopian, New Adult novel by Mya Robarts. The title made me curious, so I read the synopsis. I have become a huge dystopian fan and am always on the lookout for a new book or author.
So take a look at the pretty cover and see if The V Girl is for you.

In post-apocalyptic North America, raping and sexual slavery are legal. Lila Velez, desperately wants to lose her virginity before the troops visit her town and can take it away by force. She makes plans to seduce her only friend, Rey, the most attractive man in her town. Lila does not love him but he is the only man who has shown her true affection, an affection she is willing to take as a substitute of love.
Lila’s coping mechanism to her mother’s rape and kidnapping is her secret. A secret that will bring her closer to Aleksey, a foreign, broody man, she distrusts because his links to the troops and his rough, yet irresistible appearance. He offers Lila an alternative to her plans, a possibility that terrifies her…and tempts her in spite of herself.
All the while Lila will have to find a way to live in the constant company of death, slavery, starvation, sexual abuse and the danger of losing the people she loves the most.
I am a bookaholic and regret nothing.I am convinced the New Adult genre has more to offer than just College Romance. The possibilities are endless and I am more than willing to explore them all.
I’ll quote Mario Vargas Llosa on this.
“The writer’s job is to write with rigor, with commitment, to defend what they believe with all the talent they have. I think that’s part of the moral obligation of a writer, which cannot be only purely artistic. I think a writer has some kind of responsibility at least to participate in the civic debate. I think literature is impoverished, if it becomes cut from the main agenda of people, of society, of life.”
I like the cover. After reading the blurb, I feel a connection to her. Sounds like a horrible new world. I imagine all kinds of bad things would come back if we were suddenly in a dystopian life.
I know what you mean. This sounds very disturbing and that is what caught my interest.
OMG, I have the chills. That world sounds horrible but I am very interested. the cover is great.
I know what you mean. It is super creepy. Nice to see you Jennifer.
The cover looks like an Monet, very beautiful. If I lived in a land like that, what would I do? what chances would I take? I’ll never know and I’m glad.
