These Violent Delights by Victoria Namkung

4.0

This novel by Victoria Namkung reads current. It is not true, but it could be true. It doesn't have a happy ending, per se, but it does give a sense of power. It's heartbreakingly real and if you don't tear up a time or two, I would be surprised. The author shatters the wall of privilege found at private schools and digs deep within 3 wounded souls at the hands of a teacher. Each has a different story, but the same story, each profoundly affected me. Set in backdrop of modern Los Angeles, the private elite girls only high school of Windemere this story is right out of the news. Again, 1 star off for me because it's not a true happy ending imho. *note: I won this copy from the author in a giveaway, I review because I like to.
