Seton Girls by Charlene Thomas
5.0
Have you ever finished a book and desperately wanted to meet the characters???
By the end of this book, I was left feeling emotional and empowered! I was in awe of the Seton Girls and am crossing my fingers for a sequel just to have the chance to continue to follow their journey.
This YA novel takes place in a high school where the students drive luxury cars and their Ivy League futures are secured with family donations. Seton Academic High reigns as an elite educational institution and also has an undefeated football team on their way to the State Championship.
On the outside, both the town and the school are quite literally perfect… but when things look too perfect, there are bound to be very dark secrets.
Throughout the book, I knew the author was creating a buildup and the anticipation kept me invested! Once the secret was revealed, the anticipation didn’t end because I had to know how everything would or would not fall in place.
There are very heavy topics illustrated in this story, but what I appreciated the most were the grey areas… the area where the perspective of consent shifts based on the people you think know and what you think the victim should look or act like. The grey needs to be brought to light more and this book does an excellent job shedding that light and beginning a much needed conversation.
