Relation To Books All the Rage
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?Identify Books Supposing All the Rage

4.5 "heartbreaking, devastating, unflinching" stars. 2016 Honorable Mention Read Romy could be your best friend or sister or cousin or daughter. Romy may have had a similar story to your mama, or auntie or even granny. Romy also has many male counterparts and perhaps this is your buddy, sweetheart, brother, uncle or papa. Think of all the people you hold dear to you and think of the secrets they may have never shared. One of them could be rape, sexual assault or molestation. Let this truth hitTRIGGER WARNING: RAPEI mean it. This is the most visceral reaction to a book that I have ever had. This is the most personal book review that I will ever write. Because there is nothing more personal than what I am about to tell you. If depictions of rape are triggers for you, back away now.They say the devils in the details. I disagree. Details are nothing more than the pieces of truth we choose to bring to light. Everyone knows the devil cant abide the light. His kingdom is rooted in the
The title could not be any more appropriate. If ever there were a time when I was very close to transforming into a She-Hulk, it would be while reading this book. But don't get me wrong - I didn't want to actually smash it to a million pieces; rather, I wanted to go inside the book and punch several awful characters many, many times due to how disgusting and sickening their narrow-minded mentalities were. This book might just be the most realistic portrayal of the awfulness of rape culture and
3.5 stars By now, Ive already read almost all of Courtney Summers books and it is no secret how I am a huge fan of her writing and the risks she takes when writes her stories. She reveals naked ugly truths (thanks for the term, Aunt CoHo) about people in her stories with assertion and undeniable truthfulness and for these things; my salute goes to her (always). But even though she wrote dark stories in the past including an apocalyptic duology with zombies in it, I think All the Rage is her
wow, im destroyed. this is fantastic. RTC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~it's time for a courtney summer's marathon reread, folks, i can't wait to get my heart punched again by ms. summers buddy read with my #1 contemp trash
I was a rape victim. And believe me when I say, announcing this to all of you anonymous faces over the internet is very scary, especially when Ive told less than five people until this day. But writing a book review about All the Rage wasnt enough. I need to convey to people in some way, that this book is a monumental movement that captures so much of the trauma forced on girls, even in this day and age. Romys story, while much crueler than mine, still resonated so deeply with me because of the
You know all the ways you can kill a girl? God, there are so many. This story... these characters... those words... Courtney Summers has done it again.I don't think, on the whole, I am a person who is afraid of much. I'd even go so far as to say I have a somewhat reckless, risk-taking personality at times. But I am scared of a few things... you want to know what one of my biggest fears is? Telling the truth and having no one believe me. Honestly, I think that's truly terrifying. Knowing you're
