All the Rage, but the drama is a bit darker
I was just reading a synopsis of that one last night.
I just finished it today. It’s really good, but there are a few parts that are a little harder to get through.
@Morgan I just read one of her zombie books. Now that was dark.
I haven’t gotten a chance to look at her other books yet. I’ll have to check them out.
Tell Me Three Things, short story, it is about a new girl in a rich school who doesn’t fit in. She gets an email from Somebody Nobody who wants to help her navigate the school. Very good!!
I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for but I read ‘I swear’ by Lane Davis in high school and enjoyed it. It does deal with suicide though. Here’s the summary bc I suck at summarising stuff myself.
“Who’s to blame when bullying leads to suicide? A gripping exploration of crucial importance seeks answers in and out of the courtroom.
After years of abuse from her classmates, Leslie Gatlin decided she had no other options and took her own life. Now her abusers are dealing with the fallout.
When Leslie’s parents file a wrongful death lawsuit against their daughter’s tormenters, the proceedings uncover the systematic cyber bullying and harassment that occurred. The ringleader of the accused girls, Macie, maintains they are innocent. In her mind, Leslie chose be the coward they always knew she was.
Jillian, Katherine, and Beth try to keep their stories straight and shift the blame, as Jake, Leslie’s only true friend, tries to make sense of what happened. As the events leading up to her death unfold, it becomes clear that Leslie may have taken her own life, but her bullies took everything else.
Told in alternating perspectives and through well-paced flashbacks, this timely novel sheds light on both the victims of bullying and the consequences bullies face.”
