ARC Review: ALL THE RAGE by Courtney Summers

Synopsis:

The sheriff’s son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact. Because no one wants to believe a girl from the wrong side of town, the truth about him has cost her everything—friends, family, and her community. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy’s only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn’t speak up. Nobody believed her the first time—and they certainly won’t now — but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear.

My Review:

5 stars

I do not really know where to begin. This book left me screwed up emotionally and I had to take a few days before I could start another book. ALL THE RAGE is just…amazing. It is about Romy Grey as she struggles socially and emotionally after being raped. It goes into the sad truth about rape culture and stays with you long after you have put it down. This book will leave you deep in thought about how young women are treated after acts of sexual violence and hopefully it will leave a mark on you for the better. ALL THE RAGE is heartbreaking and I recommend it to EVERYONE.....

Thank you to Griffin Teen for sending me an ARC.
