I won a copy of this book from BookishFirst. I really enjoyed reading this book. I really identified with nerd Ivy and her group of friends. I did not identify or sympathize with Autumn much in the beginning, but once she was beaten up and we got to know more of her story, I began to understand her more. Rape is a horrible thing, and it's even more horrible when perpetrated by someone you know or when no one believes the victim's story. I felt so sorry for Autumn and was so angry at all of those teachers, Kathy, Chris, and even Autumn's father. Just because someone has done a few bad things in their life does not mean that they do not deserve to be believed. I was happy that the book ended the way it did.
