Provocative, Unique Novel
This book's alternating perspectives add great depth to the message of this book and make it really interesting. I thought the chapter lengths were a little too short, but the plot was fast-paced and exciting and I didn't want to put it down. This enjoyable story of blossoming friendship is undercut by a theme of rape and female assault, making it truly thought-provoking. I really enjoyed this serious yet light novel!

Idk where to start
I’m gonna try to keep this short. I read this book in less than two days it sort of sucked me in right away. At first I wasn’t expecting much but I feel like I started to build attachments to some characters because from first glance they seem like dumb stereotypes but they go more in depth and you see the layers of the characters and it feels like they’re actually real people. This book did make me cry tho and it touches on some very serious and upsetting topics. Overall I loved the book I can go on but I’m not trying to write an essay

YA suspense!
I'm not sure how I missed this early McGinnis novel since I normally snap them up as soon as they are available. Whatever the reason, it's better late than never. Find yourself a copy if you haven't already read it. Living in a small town means everyone knows everyone and everyone's business. Jack, Alex, and Peekay have grown up in the same town and are now seniors, but it is soon obvious that they each have multiple secrets and layers that aren't out there for public view. Everyone knows Alex since her older sister was murdered years ago. It was clear who did it, but the guy was let go without even a slap. Now Alex's mom drinks and her dad runs his trucking company from afar just depositing checks in the bank to keep Alex and her mom comfortable. The trauma has resulted in Alex withdrawing from her fellow teens. She goes to school and comes home and that's it. Peekay is blessed with the nickname due to her father's job as a local preacher. She's a bit of a surprise with her tendency to pop off with choice cuss words, and her ability to put away beer is fairly amazing given her small stature. Her effort to befriend Alex draws the quiet, angry girl out of her shell enough to get her to join in the weekend parties and begin a relationship with Jack. Jack is used to using the local girls for sexual pleasures without commitment, but something about Alex touches him. He knows she has a secrets and several incidents reveal her willingness to physically hurt people she believes deserve punishment. She can be scary, but Jack is attracted to her like he never has been any other girl. Author Mindy McGinnis takes readers into the thoughts of all three characters as they ride the social and emotional roller coaster of the final months of their senior year. Typical reckless teen behavior and gasp worthy moments begin in the first chapter and will keep readers turning pages at a breakneck pace. I'm officially putting this at the top of my list of favorites.
