I recommend 'Being Lolita' by Alisson Wood, for a glimpse at the perspective of real live girls involved in situations like these.

Edited to add:

Along with ‘Consent’ (Vanessa Springora), ‘His Favorites’ (Kate Walbert), ‘My Dark Vanessa’ (Kate Elizabeth Russell), ‘Three Women’ (Lisa Taddeo — one of the case studies applies. but all are interesting).

Plus, obviously, ‘The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel that Scandalized the World’ by Sarah Weinman.

Even my own personal piece (and forgive me if you are in the camp which is against linking your own work in comments, opinion seems divided and this is relevant):
