Boy Toy by Barry Lyga
5.0
awesome story about child molesting. i know, that sounds kinda perv, but hear me out.
from boy's perspective: teacher seduces 12 year old boy, gets found out, goes to jail, boy grows into young man, but scarred and feels terribly vulnerable. has to work through all the guilt, fear, betrayal, etc. Lyga does a great job of showing this guy as having problems but not really knowing what's going on and how to work through them, or the difference between what its ok for him to feel and whats' just sick.
