Say No to the Bro by Kat Helgeson
4.0
Say No to the Bro shines a light on a myriad of high school issues; some new, some old. I'll be honest, I was not expecting this book to be as intense as it was or to pose so many questions. It is much more than a cute tale about a girl and a boy putting the brakes on a contest. The author did not make any one character perfect, either, lending a refreshing truth to the story that kept me whipping through the pages to finish in two sittings. It's one that will stick with me for quite a while.
This book is definitely more of a high school book. There is mature content and I believe a reader needs to be mature enough to have a basic knowledge of the pressures of peers/society and be able to make some inferences about the characters based on their words versus their thoughts. Of course, the right reader might be able to handle it in middle school (late 7th early 8th grade). I guess it's one of those that you should read before you recommend.
