Revenge of the Sluts by Natalie Walton
4.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Revenge of the Sluts was pretty interesting. In a world of double standards.. oh wait, we live in that world currently. Scratch that. Whether we've lived through this or knew someone that went through it, this book revolved around compromising pictures being leaked.
Now me? Never been through this and it didn't happen to anyone that I know of when I was in school. YET, I do know that this happens a lot to celebrities. So, I was trying to picture how they felt when it happened while reading this book.
Honestly, I felt so bad for these girls that were being slut shamed throughout the book. Of course people talk and the people talking were the guys bragging about all the action that they get. Oh man, so many characters made me angry and I just wanted them to be slapped around for a little bit.
The whole mystery part wasn't that hard to solve and trust me - I am a HORRIBLE detective. I will admit that I'm pretty happy that I started to figure everything out before the big reveal. I will also state that I am damn proud that they girls got their revenge. Yeah, it sucked that the whole world basically knew their business but this school sucked ass. It was like they didn't care what the girls were going through.
Don't even get me started on some of the parents either.
Long story short, people suck and if you are sending something private to a loved one - don't share it. Please don't be a dick and talk about it or show other people. It is for your eyes only. Or maybe - don't ask for any compromising photos in general.
