Sharp Edge of Silence | Cameron Kelly Rosenblum
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Tradition meets People Like Us in this timely and haunting YA contemporary standalone that tackles the contagious nature of toxic masculinity at an elite New England boarding school clinging to its past, and the sexual assault that changes everything.WHO WILL YOU BE AT LYCROFT PHELPS?This is the question all Lycroft applicants want to be asked. It means they've been accepted to one of the most prestigious private high schools in the nation.Over 150 years is plenty of time for traditions to bake into the campus's bricks and ivy. Ceremonies. Athletic rivalries. Secret societies. Pranks taken too far. But navigating it all will make Charlotte (perfect, straight-A student), Max (scholarship kid and STEM whiz), and Quinn (artist, dreamer, Lycroft legacy) question all they thought they knew about themselves...and the school.Especially when Quinn's sexual assault becomes public and implicates one of the top-tier athletes on campus.Told in alternating perspectives, this gripping, fast-paced narrative is perfect for readers looking for their next empowering #MeToo read.

This book is brilliant on. The writing is beautiful, it's emotive and engaging. It delivers a great insight into the 1%. Well formed characters and realistic dialogue between the teens. There's just the right amount of tension in this book and great momentum. It also brought me to tears several times, from heartbreak, pride and hope.

At Lycroft Phelps the male rowing team are the undoubted stars & great things are expected from them this year, so there is a bit of scramble when the cox from the first team boat is suspended. A surprising choice is Max, a scholarship science geek who never dreamt that he could get a chance to be “one of the popular boys“ & date the girl he has admired from afar. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Meanwhile Charlotte is trying to balance being a straight-A student, a successful ballet dancer, and girlfriend of the star rower, Seb. He is handsome & charming & this leads to Charlotte tamping down her anxiety over their relationship & his, at times, questionable behaviour. Finally Quinn, a legacy student, finds herself consumed with thoughts of revenge for something which happened the previous year. 13mo
OutsmartYourShelf The reader hears the story from the three narrators: Charlotte, Max, & Quinn (Q) & their stories start off as separate but gradually the events in each start to intersect with each other. This book deals with some weighty subjects & has a trigger warning in the synopsis for sexual violence but there is also the aftermath of dealing with this, plus also toxic masculinity & virulent misogyny from some of the characters. 13mo
OutsmartYourShelf It shows how easy it can be for people who think of themselves as the “good guys“ to become caught up in a group setting & let things slide that should be called out. I thought it was well-written, & the characters were all well-rounded out, none of them were one-dimensional, even the “bad guys“ were shown to be human, & that is the entire point. Atrocious acts are not committed by monsters, they are committed by people like everyone else, 13mo
OutsmartYourShelf they just feel entitled or able to get away with it, & we see here what it takes to finally take a stand against a culture that in many cases protects the wrongdoers.
4.5🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Bonnier Books UK/Hot Key Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
