Dangerous Play by Emma Kress

5.0

Dangerous Play is a multi-layered book full of heart. The author expertly manages the complexity of emotions for those sexually assaulted and most importantly, offers hope. Zoe's well-intentioned but misguided response to a world that doesn't believe girls' stories of assault is understandable and sets the stage for her transformation as she helps create a larger community who reject rape culture. The story is fast paced; the subplot around family dysfunction, winning states, and her love interest are just as exciting.
