Publisher Description
Classic Courtney Summers with a brand new look and exclusive bonus material! This ebook edition of All the Rage includes a discussion guide.
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. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly, Romy's only refuge is the diner she works at outside of town, where she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, 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.
Also available from Courtney Summers: I'M THE GIRL, the new "brutally captivating" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) queer thriller based loosely on The Epstein case.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As Romy Grey enters her senior year, she learns firsthand that the town of Grebe does not take kindly to girls who accuse the sheriff's son of rape. Romy's only escape from the brutal torments she suffers daily at school is her waitressing job, far enough from Grebe that no one there knows what happened to her including her coworker Leon, whose unassuming romantic interest she hesitantly begins to return. But when Romy attends the town's infamous senior party and wakes up on the side of the road with the night an awful blank behind her, her life comes crashing down anew: her former best friend Penny has vanished. The book takes a while to gain momentum, but Penny's disappearance gives direction and purpose to Romy's harrowing emotional journey as she struggles to reconcile her own fate with Penny's. The narrative never shies from its charged subject, and Summers (This Is Not a Test) portrays the unforgiving mind-set of Grebe's citizens with grim realism. Through its resolution is neither tidy nor simple, Romy's powerful story creates a space for change. Ages 14 up.
