Description
Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a dark and riveting contemporary YA novel that blends the unflinching honesty of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak with the relentless pacing and alternating perspectives of Gone Girl. A stunning, unforgettable listen.
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it.
Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best - the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher's kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.
As their senior year unfolds, Alex's darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

Incredible, Moving and Uncomfortably Real
Some overarching spoilers in my review:
I adored this book. It is an eloquent, intelligent and thought provoking masterpiece of a call out on society, expectations and bystander lifestyle. The characters are intense and complex, the story line riveting and despite the outcome of the book (which is still excellent regardless of my desire for fields of daises and a happily ever after) doesn’t wallow in the circumstances but instead articulately and comfortingly drives home the moral. I loved how the author doesn’t shy away from the hard topics like rape culture, I love how I was made to question, admire, regret and despise the characters all at the same time as well as become more aware of the little things in our lives that excuse actions from boys and girls, women and men, towards normalizing rape culture in society. Like drawing dicks on bathroom stalls, calling girls sluts, hero worshipping men with high “kill counts”.
I love how human this book is. And I love how we see it through the eyes of three completely different protagonists and how the person who has arguably done the most evil deeds within the book ends up being the person who was the most pure and innocent of them all.
