Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Katie

This book is an intense read for those of you who have not read it. It is a very powerful book and gives you a day in the life of someone who is truly suffering from a really persol experience like rape. In this book, Melinda is raped at a party and calls the police who crash the party. The following year of high school to say the least is Hell for Melinda. Shes outcasted just for ruining other peoples good time, but what they don't know is that what she had to go through. The emotions pouring from this novel are beyond intense. The is a very powerful message in this book and it caan be interpreted several ways. From Melinda's view, it's ok to get help for something like rape and don't let people tear you down further. From the people looking at her, don't always jump to conclusions about someone because you aren't always going to know just what's going on and sometimes its much worse than you may anticipate. I think this book was very well written and I definitely recommend it. The movie is also pretty good. It stars Twilight's Kristen Stewart.
