![]() ![]() Grace has accused school stud and lacrosse team golden boy of raping her, and no one believes her. The book opens a month after The Incident. I mean, I hope I don’t get too spoilery, but there’s a chance because I am really emotional right now, so everything’s just kind of raw and pouring out, so, yeah. While there are no actual scenes really depicting the rape, there’s enough discussion and bullying going on, and yeah. Whenever I hear anyone from now on saying that rape culture is something us hysterical misandrists made up, I’m going to beat them up with this book. I wanted to throw up for about 20% of it, and wanted to beat the shit out of someone for another 20%. And I have been dreading this book ever since. That needs to be talked about.” But I can’t demand that shit be talked about and not step up to the plate myself, so I signed up. Unlike my usual method of picking books to review, I actually read the description for this one. When I signed up to review Some Boys, I was nervous. NB: Trigger warnings for rape, rape culture, and bullying in this review. ![]() He’s the one who gives her the courage to fight back. He’s the one person who looks past the taunts and the names and the tough-girl act to see the real Grace. ![]() Ian wouldn’t be the first to call her a slut and a liar.Įxcept Ian doesn’t reject her. After she accuses Zac, the town golden boy, of rape, everyone turns against her. Afraid he’ll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. ![]()
