Loved this book! I was able to read it in 2 sittings. Perfectly depicts high school hierarchies/cliques. Covers a wide range of topics including: alcoholism, rape, sexual harassment, poverty, peer pressure. I loved the 2 different viewpoints of Dani and Claire. Their stories were so similar living under the same roof yet they didn’t communicate.
Moderate: Rape and Sexual harassment
Minor: Alcoholism
