A review by flying_monkeys
Are You in the House Alone? by Richard Peck

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

3.0

Deals with an important topic for all ages - guilt and shame after rape - but the delivery is too superficial. Definitely reads like a 70s / 80s young adult book. I appreciate the attempt to spotlight these crucial topics, including the fact that rapists still get away with their crime and victims are still the ones on trial, I just wish there'd been a bit more depth to certain scenes.
