Welcome to Litsy!

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 🤗

Thanks @iread2much for the generosity! I'm especially looking forward to the tagged book. #litsylove

Read this and wow just speechless 😶

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
