Reviews
I love the Sidestreets series, and this book is no exception. It tackles a very difficult issue that is very relevant in today's society of social media and cell phones. It's a quick read, and very to the point, and it outlines the aftermath of the horrific event, and the healing, rather than the event itself. If you haven't read a Sidestreets book, I highly recommend it. It's a great series for teens, on very real issues, and it's Canadian! -- (07/17/2018) In addition to the diverse protagonists, many secondary characters also bring diversity to the series. --Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2018) This book opens the door to talk about rape culture and the way that women are allowed to navigate in the world of sexuality. --Isaiah Roby NetGalley (09/27/2018)

Teens can certainly relate to the traumas they face. --Christine A., Educator, NetGalley (08/10/2017) I liked that this story is told from the point of view of a 16 year old boy. The majority of books I've read about sexual assault are told primarily from a female perspective. --Reviewer, NetGalley (08/05/2017) Watson's novel is topical and the issues deserve to be depicted in literary form ... [she writes engaging, high interest novels. --Adam C. Hunt, teacher, CM: Canadian Review of Materials (11/24/2017)
