Date rape--from the accused's point of view--is the subject of this
"finely crafted and thought-provoking page-turner" (SLJ), a National
Book Award Finalist from Printz Honor-winning author Chris Lynch. Now
available in a tenth-anniversary edition.
Keir Sarafian may not know much, but he knows himself. And the one thing
he knows about himself is that he is a good guy. A guy who's a devoted
son and brother, a loyal friend, and a reliable teammate. And, maybe
most important of all, Keir is a guy who understands that when a girl
says no, she means it.
But that is not what Gigi Boudakian, childhood friend and Keir's
lifelong love, says at all. What Gigi says seems impossible to
Keir--something inexcusable--the worst thing he can imagine, the very
opposite of everything he wants to be.
As Keir recalls the events leading up to his fateful night with Gigi, he
realizes that the way things look are definitely not the way they really
are...and that it may be all too easy for a good guy to do something
terribly wrong.
Chris Lynch has written a no-holds-barred story about truth, lies, and
responsibility--a story that every good guy needs to hear.
