Description
Critically acclaimed young adult author Patty Blount’s previous novels have been lauded by critics for skillfully crafted stories with complex characters and her ability to bring a refreshingly realistic voice to stories that tackle the controversial issues of modern young adulthood.
In her newest novel, SOME BOYS, Patty weaves a gut-wrenching, powerful tale of rape, blame, redemption and love in a small town. When Grace meets Ian she’s afraid. Afraid he’ll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After accusing the town golden boy of rape, everyone turned against Grace. They call her a slut and a liar. But...Ian doesn’t. He’s funny and kind with secrets of his own. But how do you trust the best friend of the boy who raped you? How do you believe in love?
