Tease by Amanda Maciel
4.0
Read for Librarian Book Group
A book about cyber bullying (and slut-shaming) but from the perspective of one of the perpetrators. I found the stubborn resistance of taking responsibility by the main character to be an effective hook that kept me up past my bedtime reading. Overall, a very engrossing novel that is quite successful at what it's doing. There was talk in the book group discussion of wishing it would have delved deeper into why slut-shaming/rape culture is the way it is, and, I agree I agree we need a book about that too, but this is not that book and this book is a good book for what it is.
That said, the foil cover was really distracting as I was reading by lamplight. I had to hold to book a certain way so the light didn't reflect back into my eyes.
