YA
No one in town believes Romy was raped. A year later, Romy is still being ostracized when she is drugged and assaulted; another girl goes missing on the same night. Sexual violation--including female complicity in the degradation of other girls and women--is almost omnipresent in this hard-hitting novel. Romy's wrenching self-loathing is leavened by a sweet, supportive romance.
