I’m not sure why this book wasn’t more popular, but I liked it. It addresses something that happens everyday at practically every high school, college, frat, and even offices - boys and men behaving very,, very badly and trying to get away with it because they can’t fathom why they should be accountable. And too often, they get away with it for that reason. I’d like to think everyone ended up where they were supposed to be, but for the antagonist, I have to admit I lack faith.

The epilogue felt forced - like the author couldn’t think of a way to end the story. That’s really my only complaint.
