Love, Heather
by Laurie Petrou
Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou was one emotional read. This was an amazing story about the trials and tribulations in teens in today's society. Petrou dives into bullying, rape culture, the pain and suffering youth endure from both. The book goes on to show the effects these things have on young impressionable teens. We even see the harsh effects that the main character turned to from feeling alone, misunderstood and isolated. Such a profound powerful read.
Love, Heather follows Stevie in her first year of highschool, discovering herself and the world around her. Early on she starts having trouble with her best friend. This seems to be the starting point to the troubling journey Stevie has. Many things are changing, her best friend is hanging out with other people, her mother has a new boyfriend, her friends mother who Stevie's always been close with is transitioning to a man. Stevie at the most vulnerable time of her life feels very alone. She is able to make a friend in Dee, together they decide to turn the bullying around. It seems to be working until one night at a party. The party would shape the rest of Stevies life. She knows what must be done, with the coaching of Dee it could be the most disastrous decision of her life.
