(4) YA Eager for reparation after being raped, high schooler Alex enlists the Mockingbirds, "a justice system for the students, by the students." Aided by friends, a devoted music teacher, and a new love interest, Alex slowly heals. Whitney's engaging boarding school drama occasionally devolves into melodrama through sermonic dialogue and some unconvincing characterizations. Nonetheless, Alex's healing process is satisfying and empowering.
