A review by booklistqueen
Reputation by Sarah Vaughan

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

 As a female politician, Emma knows it only takes one slip-up to ruin your reputation. Using her position as an MP, Emma is determined fight for female victims and pass a law against revenge porn, even though it brings a slew of threats, both online and in person. When her teenage daughter lashes out at a high school bully, the consequences could be disastrous as Emma is put on trial for the death of a reporter who threatened to publish the story. 

Reputation is like a good Law & Order episode - showcasing the lead-up to the crime and then diving into the court case. Not only did Vaughan write a compelling narrative but also she managed to really hit home on her main themes, violence against women and how our reputation affects our actions. The combination of a killer narrative (pun intended) and deeper underlying themes will make this a great book club choice this summer.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Atria Books. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
