Description

Valerie always wanted to be the smart girl. The pretty girl. The popular girl.

But not the rape girl..

That’s who she is now. Rape Girl. Because everyone seems to think they know the truth about what happened with Adam that day, and they don’t think Valerie’s telling it..

Before, she had a best friend, a crush, and a close-knit family. After, she has a court case, a support group, and a house full of strangers..

The real truth is, nothing will ever be the same..

Rape Girl is the compelling story of a survivor who does the right thing and suffers for it. It is also the story of a young woman’s struggle to find the strength to fight back.

Advance Praise

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 in their reviews. 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 the least of it being date rape. I just think that this is one of those books that could open a discussion and keep it going. This book has me speechless it was that good and that thought provoking. Anyone who knows my reviews knows that is not an easy feat.

This book is the Ms. Klein's first attempt at a YA book and she did a SMASHING job! Bravo, Ms. Klein, Bravo!! ---A Book and a Review Blog
