Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a riveting contemporary YA novel that examines rape culture through alternating perspectives. A stunning, unforgettable page-turner.
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn’t feel bad about it.
Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best—the language of violence.
While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can’t be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna’s body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher’s kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.
As their senior year unfolds, Alex’s darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

    An excelent book. Deals with very important topics like slut shaming and rape culture in a very real way. I definitely reccomend this book.

    This was... A lot. Like a lot lot. But I think is one that is very important. I would have like to resolve some things (particularly with jack and branley) but I get that not everyone gets a happy ending and people are not perfect. Remaind yourself that it's never your fault, that bad people deserve it bad and that if you allow the jokes and the molestation who everyone seems to think are insignificant but later become assaults and other monstrous things, you are contributing to rape culture.
    So f them. Really hard. Better to be with no friends than to be friends with rapists. Better rapists to have bruises and their skin thorne apart than having girls abused.

    It’s easier to like animals than people

    But boys will be boys, our favorite phrase that excuses so many things, while the only thing we have for the opposite gender is women, said with disdain and punctuated with an eye roll.

    I hold my phone tightly, too aware that the present is all we have if I can’t mention the past and she won’t talk about the future.
