Take Her Down by Lauren Emily Whalen
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Inc. for the ARC of Take Her Down!
LGBTQIA+ main characters? I'm down.
Mystery? I'm down.
Angst? If it's done right, I'm down.
I was hook, line and sinker just from the synopsis of this book.
Every character in this book has their demons. Nobody's hands are clean. I mean, it's high school. What do you expect? Whalen gave just enough detail chapter by chapter to keep me interested until the very end.
I wanted to give this book five stars so bad! Lately, it's been difficult to keep my attention on one thing and Whalen somehow managed it which is an impressive feat. Here's the thing though: I couldn't wrap my head around why legal action wasn't taken against certain people. Was it misplaced shame? Was it neglect? They had the money to for lawyers so I just can't rationalize why something wasn't done.
