(3) YA Is there "no such thing as unconditional love"? Sixteen-year-old Nina reflects on this conviction through a consuming relationship and breakup, her work at a high-kill animal shelter, and her knowledge about female saints and martyrs. With explicit descriptions of sexuality--and its consequences--and disturbing imagery of tortured women and suffering animals, this is a challenging but unapologetically feminist read.
