This review is for one of the four signed books I’ve
recently won from this author through a massive giveaway on one internet site, which
had consisted of 13 individual ones, and the following is my honest opinion for
this book.
To begin with, while I believe the ages of the
characters in this book are that of high school students making it appropriate
for the YA [Young Adult] audience; the serious topic the book deals with.
Pardon me for sounding a little prudish, but this book seem
to be more appropriately classified as a book for the upper range of the NA [new
adult] genre of romance as it requires a more mature audience of readers, or
even perhaps as an adult romance novel.
The story is truthfully raw in its depiction of happens
to an young, underage female drinker who gets drunk at a party and is taken
advantage of by one of the boys there, a boy who one would never expect of
being capable of committing such a heinous act. Naturally, it is Grace who is now being looked
at as the instigator for this alleged event occurring, and everyone begins to
shun her. Everyone that is, except for one individual boy, Ian, who eventually
sees the truth in what she’s been saying.
Ian, is the type of guy any woman would love to have in
her corner, a guy who would find the truth in what she’s been saying in regards
to the terrifying ordeal she had to face, and is willing to stand by her.
On the other hand, the discussion questions Ms. Blount
provides at the end of book; turns this book a wonderful teaching tool in
preparing young girls to face a possible reality of life no woman would ever
want to happen to them. And for the educational property this book presents, I’m
giving this book 5 STARS.
