Revenge of the Sluts by Natalie Walton
4.0
"There's nothing wrong with sending photos," Sloane said. "You sent the picture to someone who consented to receiving it and you're an adult, so you didn't do anything bad or wrong. And that applies to all of you equally. The only person to blame here is the person who sent the email."
What a powerful, relevant story. Revenge Porn. It seems to be the dirty words no one wants to talk about, adults and high school students alike. And too often, we wrong and get mad at the person who is "sending" the photo and don't think about the words like consent and adults and the agreement made when you send them. This book shines a light on this and makes the reader weigh it, like the MC does. You have to grapple with the pain and frustration of the girls who have been betrayed and yet, feel guilty. The adults in their worlds also have to struggle with the appropriate response and what, legally, anyone can do. It was such an eye opening story, one with so much insight into the students and the ever-changing digital world we live in. So well done, I'm really glad I read it.
