Synopsis: Please, Let Me Go tells the shocking true story of Caitlin Spencer, a survivor of sex trafficking in England. From the age of 14, Caitlin was completely controlled, repeatedly raped, provided with alcohol, given drugs, sold and passed on to new gangs over and over again. The majority of her abusers were Pakistani men, who were blatant in their attacks upon her, often collecting her from school or home, to be taken to flats they owned, family homes, or hotels booked for the day, to be horrifically and systematically abused. At a time when the abuse ring realities of young white women in Rotherham and other major English cities are coming to light, Caitlin's story will appal readers - not just because of the degree of horrific attacks which were perpetrated upon her, but also because of the ways in which the authorities refused to act. Caitlin speaks openly about what she has suffered, and also shows just how unwilling many people are to face up to what is happening in our midst, for fear of being called racist. By bravely speaking out, she will, hopefully prove just how deep these problems are and just how the abusers get away with it in plain sight of the authorities.

My Review: I don’t normally read this genre but I wanted to read something
different from what I normally read and my sister gave me this to read.

It is written from Caitlin’s POV, she tells the reader about
what she has gone through in her life and tells that she still suffers from ill
health from everything that happened to her.
As horrible as the accounts told by Caitlin are I couldn’t
put this book down, I had to keep reading to see if she made it out of the
situation safely. It is emotional, heart breaking and overwhelming.
Caitlin has been incredibly strong by sharing her story and
I hope that by sharing her story it helps people to see the signs that could
help save a young person from going through what Caitlin and many other go
through.
