A review by ellsbeth
Girls Like Us by Gail Giles

4.0

At first, I was leery of the opening of the book, but it soon sucked me in and I finished this fairly easy read in a couple of hours. The perspective of the main characters is distinctive and well done. If you plan to put this book in the hands of kids, keep in mind that this book does address violent sexual assault, so be ready for related conversations. The story is good at creating empathy for the characters rather than pity, and it is well written.
