Some girls say no. Some boys don't listen.When Grace meets Ian, she's afraid. Afraid he'll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After she accuses Zac, the town golden boy, of rape, everyone turns against her. Ian wouldn't be the first to call her a slut and a liar.Except Ian doesn't reject her. He's the one person who looks past the taunts and the names and the tough-girl act to see the real Grace. He's the one who gives her the courage to fight back.He's also Zac's best friend."A bold and necessary look at an important, and very real, topic. Everyone should read this book." -- Jennifer Brown, author of Thousand Words and Hate ListA gut-wrenching, powerful love story told from alternating points of view by the acclaimed author of Send.

Not on theme for this month but I couldn't resist diving into another YA. Grace is raped by one of the most popular boys in school and instead of hiding what happened she is very open about the assault. But when video of the event is posted online no one seems to be on her side and she is slut shamed. She ends up finding support from an unlikely friend to get through it. Some sad moments but ultimately a happy ending. Thanks again @iread2much 🤗

It took me over a year to even pick this book up, but I read it in a day once I started it. I thought the author did a good job with the way she wrote high school, the affects on the parents of a victim, and the ways that people find themselves torn over sexual assault. I don't think writing how she's a "warrior" woman makes up for Grace needing a man to save her. Well written and interesting, I give this book 2.5/5 stars

This book was empowering towards woman who struggle to have a voice. Its very forward and tells woman to never give up.

This book has been getting a lot of hype at our school as it was one of the most recent additions to our high school library. My female students said they were "so mad" while they read it, but couldn't put it down and loved it. With a review like this, of course I had to check it out. I definitely wasn't disappointed and I can't wait to read more by this author.

Can't wait to share with my students - I think the author nailed the tone of high school. For next read, will need a "light and frothy" to clear head. Book 9 of #100bookchallenge

MrsGuffey Completely agree!! 8y
