All the Rage by Courtney Summers

3/15/2017

0 Comments

 
  • Months ago Romy Grey was raped by the town sheriff's son -- but no one believed her.  Since then, she's been branded a liar, ostracized, and bullied by her former friends.
  • She takes refuge in working in a diner in a nearby town where no one knows about her past, and she strikes up a tentative relationship with one of her co-workers.
  • When after the senior party she wakes up by the side of the road with no memory of the night before and discovers a popular classmate has gone  missing from the same party, Romy has to decide if she wants to fight back or live with the knowledge that other girls could continue to be hurt if she doesn't speak up.
Picture
This book is a hard and emotional read but well worth it since it shines light on a society that often blames the victim.  It also examines how corruption and power in a small town can keep justice from being served.  Compared to other excellent books dealing  with sexual assault such as Exit, Pursued by a Bear and Speak, All the Rage holds up well and has it's own point of view.
