Some Boys

De: Patty Blount

Narrado por: Em Eldridge, Joe Hempel

Some girls say no. Some boys don't listen.

When Grace meets Ian, she's afraid. Afraid he'll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After she accuses Zac, the town golden boy, of rape, everyone turns against her. Ian wouldn't be the first to call her a slut and a liar.

Except Ian doesn't reject her. He's the one person who looks past the taunts and the names and the tough-girl act to see the real Grace. He's the one who gives her the courage to fight back.

He's also Zac's best friend.

Great

This book was very emotional for me. It was a bit of a reminder of what I went through in my past. However it was very well written and I loved the narration.

nostalgia

read this when I was in highschool, glad I gave it a reread. story and characters are just as good as I remember.

Listen with your pre-teen or teen

A good way of getting a conversation started with your children about uncomfortable but important topics.

Great read.

I like that its realistic. love how determined Grace is and how she stuck to her guns. go girl!

It was good

I have NEVER been angry or hated 99% of the characters in a book. Everyone in this book let Grace down. People who are meant to protect her, let her down. Her best friends let her down. And she forgave all of them way too easily.

Besides that, it was a good book. A lot of empowerment for Grace. She’s definitely not a victim but a survivor. For someone who had so much stacked against her, she still fought hard for herself. I’m proud of her.

EM & Joe did a great job narrating!
