See full review here!I almost feel guilty for not liking this very much, given the subject matter and all, but there was a lot wrong with it. I just couldn't get past the lack of character development. Everyone seemed so flat to me. And the pacing was totally off. There were times when too much time...
Cover Impressions: I will be honest, the cover didn't wow me. It was the title and synopsis that got me interested. Perhaps it looks different on the physical copy, or perhaps there is some symbolism behind the cover image that I missed. Either way - do not judge this one by it's cover!The Gist: ...
Synopsis: It is a story of a teenage girl called Valerie who got raped after a party in her own house by a guy she fancied; it is narrated by the victim herself and it spans a period of several months. What I liked: The book was well written but firstly and foremostly I appreciated the fact that all...
This review can also be found on Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell-blog.You've seen the title, you don't need to read the blurb. You already know what happens. Question isn't when or where or even how.

This book deserves 5 stars for the subject matter alone. However, I wasn't in love with the book so I gave it four. The writing is decent. The characters are likeable. It's heartbreaking tale of a girl who gets date raped. It's about the fallout of what happens afterward. It seemed like an accurate ...
Told primarily from the the perspective of the girl, we learn about the before during and after. Heart-breaking, gut-wrenching and and just a difficult book to read, mainly because it felt so true and real.
There is no false advertising here: "Rape Girl" is exactly what you would expected it to be And while saying that this book is about rape would be stating the obvious, it is about rape and very little else. Valerie is our main character, yes, but everything we learn about her is in relation to the r...
Ummmm, this book should be required reading for high school age boys and girls. A number of the other Goodreads reviews have said it all and for the most part, they are dead on. This book was poignant and couldn't be more dead on if it tried. There are so many topics that this book touches upon with...
