Publisher Description
If you gulped through reading or streaming 13 Reasons Why, Tease is the book for you.
Provocative, unforgettable, and inspired by real-life incidents, Amanda Maciel's highly acclaimed debut novel Tease is the story of a teenage girl who faces criminal charges for bullying after a classmate commits suicide. With its powerful narrative, unconventional point of view, and strong anti-bullying theme, this coming-of-age story offers smart, insightful, and nuanced views on high school society, toxic friendships, and family relationships.
Emma Putnam is dead, and it's all Sara Wharton's fault. At least, that's what everyone seems to think. Sara, along with her best friend and three other classmates, has been criminally charged for the bullying and harassment that led to Emma's shocking suicide. Now Sara is the one who's ostracized, already guilty according to her peers, the community, and the media. In the summer before her senior year, in between meetings with lawyers and a court-recommended therapist, Sara is forced to reflect on the events that brought her to this moment—and ultimately consider her own role in an undeniable tragedy.
And she'll have to find a way to move forward, even when it feels like her own life is over.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
A perfect summary of what bullying feels like from the bullies perspective.
Left much to be desired
This book had a lot of promise. It was a real page turner initially. The book ends with a lot of questions that were never answered. What were the charges for the boys. Were the rumors about Emma true? The book, I my opinion was very long with not a lot of content to cover. The ending was very weak because there were so many unanswered questions. Make toy feel jilted and like you’re time has been wasted. I’d skip this one.
Makes you think
This book helps you consider both sides of the story, not just that of the victim, and is an excellent read.
