Fifteen-year-old Polarity Weeks just wants to live a normal life, but with a mother diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, that’s rarely easy. Her life gets exponentially more disastrous when her sixth-period history classmates start ogling a nude picture of her on the Internet. Polarity would never have struck such a shameless pose, but the photo is definitely of her, and she’s at a complete loss to explain its existence. Child Protective Services yanks her from her home, suspecting her parents. The kids at school mock her, assuming she took it herself. And Ethan, the boy she was really starting to like, backpedals and joins the taunting chorus. Surrounded by disbelief and derision on all sides, Polarity desperately seeks the truth among her friends. Only then does she learn that everyone has dark secrets, and no one’s life is anywhere near normal.

I received a copy from Netgalley. A tough, but interesting read that touched on a number of issues I've not come across before in YA fiction. There are probably lots of YA books that focus on a number of the things raised in this novel, but this is the first one of its kind that I have read. Dif...
While this book dealt with some big issues, it felt very juvenile. I really wanted to love this book due to all of its themes, but couldn't get past the writing. Overall, the writing of this book felt like an adult writing how they think a teen would write. Maybe it's due to my being raised in a d...
It's very rare for me to finish a book and not have words to express how I feel about the story. Usually, I gush all over it or scream from the rooftops about what made me hate it, but this ...
