Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a riveting
contemporary YA novel that examines rape culture through alternating
perspectives. A stunning, unforgettable page-turner.
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it.
Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the
killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best--the
language of violence.
While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted
among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really
know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's
body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher's kid with a
defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal
shelter. Not anyone.
As their senior year unfolds, Alex's darker nature breaks out, setting
these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives
forever.
