A review by jaimeedarling
Some Boys by Patty Blount

3.0

Whereas I can't IMAGINE, that an ENTIRE. SCHOOL. INCLUDING THE TEACHERS. would not believe a young girl when she said she was raped, this book was pretty decent. Yes, you'll get angry at Ian quite a bit throughout this book, but because he's still pretty young, AND best friends with the rapist, I will give him a pass, because he has a lot to go through during this book as well. Especially while having a major concussion, lol.

Spoiler

No, he doesn't believe her until he has definitive proof, right at the end of the book, and YES, he was a dick when it mattered and was caring when it didn't, I still forgive him.
I, however, would NOT have given ANY forgiveness to those two girls that call themselves her best friends. They are complete trash.

Anyways, point being, I like how this girl dealed with what happened to her, and I'm glad she didn't run away.

Spoiler

I will say that she was very lucky that the truth came out in the end though. I can only imagine how awful her life still would have been if that video never existed and nobody ever did believe her. And all the girls that would get raped in the future by Zac since no one would have ever known/believed.

Solid 2.5 stars, I'd say.
