The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis

5.0

This was an fantastic read. I actually finished the book like 30 minutes ago and I am still wrapping my head around this book. The ending was crazy, heartbreaking, and perfect. I really thought Alex was an interesting character. Jack Fisher is the star-athlete and 4.0 GPA student. I thought he was more than just the jock at moments. Peekay was a really interesting character. She is more of the rebellious teenage daughter of a preacher. She seems like people misunderstood her because she was the preacher's kid. I found her character unique and different. Also, I thought the book was just powerful as it dealt with issues of rape, drugs, and alcohol. The story was intriguing as we got the story from three distinctive perspectives. I am really glad that I got to read this powerful piece of work. Overall, a thought-provoking read.
