All The Rage Book Review
Courtney Summers
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Summary of book:
Summary provided by the publisher:
The sheriff's son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact. Because no one wants to believe a girl from the wrong side of town, the truth about him has cost her everything-friends, family, and her community. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy's only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn't speak up. Nobody believed her the first time- and they certainly won't now-but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear. With a shocking conclusion and writing that will absolutely knock you out, All The Rage examines the shame and silence inflicted upon young women after an act of sexual violence, forcing us to ask ourselves: In a culture that refuses to protect its young girls, how can they survive?

Review and Comments:
So this book deals with a lot of dark subject, and at times it was really hard to read because, Courtney Summers wrote this book in such a way, that you don't just read Romy's emotions, you feel them like they;re your own. You become so emerged in this book that you, yourself become this character, her experiences are your experiences, you feel what she feels. This is a truly amazing book, and I really enjoyed it, once I read it I couldnt stop reading it. I literally stayed up until 5 in the morning reading this. All the rage is a really good book, and it is so well written, it deals with many dark, taboo, subjects and handles them so well. I recommend this book for all of you. I can't wait to read more of Courtney Summer's work. This story was beautiful.
