Antisocial

By: Jillian Blake

Narrated by: Tara Sands

What if your greatest secrets became public? For the students at Alexandria Prep, a series of hacks leads to a scandalous firestorm—and the students are left wondering whose private photos and messages will be exposed next. It’s Pretty Little Liars meets WikiLeaks.


ONE HACK. EVERY SECRET. EXPOSED.

Alexandria Prep is in total social chaos. Someone—no one knows who—has hacked into the phones of the school’s social royalty and leaked their personal messages and photos. At first it was funny—everyone loved watching the dirty private lives of those they envied become public. But when things escalate, the students realize anyone could be a target.

When Anna returns to school for senior spring, she’s initially grateful that all eyes are on everyone else’s problems...and not on her humiliating breakup with her basketball-star boyfriend. But as the hacks begin to shatter lives and threaten futures, Anna races to protect those she loves—as well as her own devastating secrets.

If only the students of Alexandria Prep could turn back the clock so they knew then what they know now: sometimes we share too much.

“Antisocial stands somewhere between a warning and a wake-up call, reminding readers that unlikely victims and villains are everywhere, but more importantly, that it is never too late to lend a helping hand." —TheYoungFolks.com

Good until the end

I enjoyed this book until the after school special ending where the author used the narrator to lecture and tie in the whole story. I didn't need the long monologue at the end. Totally ruined an otherwise great work of fiction.

Timely, Relevant and Compelling - Couldn't stop!

Any additional comments?

What if your greatest secrets became public? Just imagine for a minute virtually ANY place that you committed something to word or photo becoming public, say over the last year. Yikes! Not just any and all social media, but even private emails and texts. All public. All drizzled out to the world at a rate of many a day in your schools, work places, churches and homes. Can you even imagine the scandal or the pain this would cause? Now, add to that the anxiety that would accompany these technological hacks by having to wait over a period of weeks to see when YOUR private information was leaked to your world.
At first it’s probably kind of funny, when it’s someone else because sadly people love watching the shocking, scandalous, dark and dirty private lives of those they envy or dislike become all too public thus knocking them off their pedestals. That is until the hacks escalate and find US or those closest to us. They find the things we just rolled off the cuff while we were mad or scared or jealous. They find our deepest darkest secrets because of course anything we’ve ever searched online is found too.
Lives would be shattered, chaos would erupt, friendships and family ties would be severed. This debut novel is more real time, real world than I like to imagine-it’s a wake-up call on steroids! Wake up peeps! If you didn’t have anxiety over digital and personal privacy before you read it, you surely will after.
