"Jeri - Trust your Instincts!" and it has her card that reads:
"Writer Writer Pants on Fire"
Review from Good Reads, Jan 29 2017:
This book took me 2 days. With a teething one-year-old at home.
So great! What a timely novel! This should be a must-read for all teenagers - male and female. The narration is shared by 3 people, 2 very different girls and a boy. They are all seniors at the same school and are all affected by the kidnapping, rape, and murder of one of the girls' sister before the story starts.
There is graphic teenage sex and discussion thereof, but if anyone thinks that this isn't realistic they DEFINITELY need to read this book! This is a cautionary tale for females about the dangers in this world if you're a girl. It's a cautionary tale for males about the dangers in this world if you underestimate the power of females.
No means no. Lack of explicit consent means NO. "Boys will be boys" is a destructive and out-dated mentality in our culture. Girls want to have sex, too, and that's okay - it doesn't make them a "slut" (ugh I HATE that word!) Report abuse! Yours and anyone else's! It will most likely prevent the abuser from striking again.
My favorite quote: "I live in a world where not being molested as a child is considered luck." p 239
I want my precocious daughter to read this novel, but she's just turned twelve and I'm not sure I'm ready for her to read about blow-jobs and pussy yet. agh. I will remember this novel for her when she's 14 or so, though!… (plus d'informations)
