This is a book about sexual assault and how it affects teenagers in high school. It is highly relevant because of the #MeToo movement. It is also a 2018 High School Nutmeg award winner. It is a book that I am sure you will enjoy.
“Whether a catcall, an unwelcome touch, or more, sexual aggression towards females happens daily; McGinnis explores how one teen uses violence for justice in this gripping story that should be read and discussed by teens, as well as those who work with them.” Booklist
“All three teens are haunted by the memory of Anna’s murder, and Alex’s inclination to both considering and exacting revenge with cruel efficiency leads them all inexorably to an explosive, terrible finale. An unflinching look at rape culture and its repercussions.” Kirkus Reviews
