Naked - Jo Hill

Naked is the heartbreaking true story of a young girl named Jo. It delves into her tragic, challenging and confusing life, explaining the terrible experiences she’s gone through and the disgusting way she was treated. She was forced into attending nudist camps with her family but even her own parents didn’t realise what went on behind their backs.

At times when I was reading the book, I visibly cringed and had to look away before continuing to read, I wouldn’t suggest it’s for the faint-hearted. Awful things were done to Jo without her even realising how wrong it was at her young age. The story is gripping and full of horrific surprises and throughout the whole book your maternal instincts will make you want to hug Jo and tell her things will get better eventually. I highly recommend this book although it definitely changes your outlook on certain aspects of life.


My copy is battered and worn as I bought it already used, from Oxfam but here’s a photo of the cover so you can recognise it and also if you want to read some of the blurb.
