Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus by Vanessa Grigoriadis

4.0

This was an incredibly powerful book. The author takes a nuanced look at collegiate sexual assault, along with portrayals of black and white cases, along with some grayer ones. She’s not preachy, and you can see her going through her own journey during the course of the book. My only complaint is in some cases (particularly the gray ones), she only interviewed one side of the story, without even trying to reach the other party. While this may have been deliberate to try to steer us away from the he-said, she-said model (who will actually directly admit to assaulting someone), it would have been good to have a fuller picture in these instances. A good and important read for parents, as well as teenagers.
