(4) YA Beautiful Rosie readily sets aside her summer hookup, Cory, when her reserved friend Maddie shows an interest. Then, a drunk Cory assaults Rosie at a party, and Maddie walks in and assumes Rosie has betrayed her. The fallout leaves Rosie suffering from her trauma alone until new guy Alex shows interest. This is a formulaic boy-heals-girl narrative, but one with a particularly timely focus on sexual assault and slut-shaming.
