Revenge of the Sluts by Natalie Walton
5.0
I had read this book before when it was still getting fleshed out on wattpad, and I LOVED back then, and that hasn’t changed. I was unable to put it down again, and it’s so much better than what I remember.
This book would be great for fans of the mystery genre, and also readers that love books that promote the empowerment of women.
The characters are so well fleshed out and developed, and I was inspired by the all female lead. I loved how in the face of adversity, the girls found strength in one another, especially when the schooling systems failed them, which unfortunately, isn’t all that uncommon in real life.
On top of the book being a fantastic and captivating story, this book deals with some incredibly relevant and heavy social issues that are all to common in today’s society, not only for teens but for adults too. It’s deals with the effects of social media, online bullying, photo sharing, revenge porn and more.
I think it’s important to see these themes, as difficult as they are to stomach, in popular fiction and in the general populations’ view so that these things can’t simply be ignored anymore. Women are taking back their right to feel strong, courageous and proud and this book is a gods damn testimony to that!
I was given this arc thanks to Natalie Walton and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
