Maybe He Just Likes You by Barbara Dee

challenging tense

4.0

I wish society would spend more time educating its children as to what is and is not acceptable when it comes to the things they say to each other, or the way they touch each other, how to change your behavior when someone says you are making them feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and about all kinds of consent. How to asset yourself and tell the other person that what they’re doing is not okay and that you’re not wrong for reporting them. It’s important. No more “boys will be boys” or “you’re being too sensitive”. That’s no longer acceptable. 

That said, I found the conclusion of this book rather unrealistic, because here in the real world you’re rarely heard even when you MAKE them listen… but I still thought it was a good book that got a lot of really good points across in a way that’s understandable to the age group it’s about.
