Maybe He Just Likes You by Barbara Dee

4.0

One of those topics that's hard to put into words but is really important for kids to know about. When I was a kid, I thought I understood what bullying and sexual assault were, but would never have known what to call unwanted touching or sexually-based bullying. It is distressing, but feels less serious than those things, so you dismiss it- you don't want to be "too sensitive" or "overreacting." Gosh, gaslighting starts really early, I just realized. I felt like the book may have gone on a little long, but it was still worth reading. Definitely appropriate for a middle schooler.
