Moral Compass by Danielle Steel
1.0
This type of story is not my style. The story was told in multiple perspectives, and each character analyzed everything to death. And because they all are involved in the same situation somehow there was so much repetition, nothing left to figure out or wonder. Textbook definition of tell don't show.
The story centers around a girl being raped at her boarding school. This was such an unrealistic fallout and consequence that I am wondering how this book by such a prolific author got published???? In this perfect world, the cops believe the girl was raped right away and didn't bring it on herself. The headmaster of the prestigious boarding school wants the boys brought to justice despite what that means for the schools reputation. The boys who were in on the crime don't want to paint the girl as the slut who shouldn't have been drinking with them in the first place. The boys acknowledge what they did and want to come clean.
Yes, this is what should happen when something this horrific happens, but it doesn't. I'm not sure what the author was trying to do here, but this story just felt super basic and not at all something worth my time.
