Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined por Danielle Younge-Ullman
This book still makes me want to go on a wilderness trip. Beautiful book.
Warning: Contains spoilers.
Thought this was one of those YA books that would generate some great and timely discussions. Obviously meant for older teens due to the mature content, but very important to have books like this that deal with discussions of what consent looks like. I especially loved that the example with Kyle was kind of grey due to her participation.

Literary merit: Poor
Characterization: Poor
Level: High School
LOOK UP TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK. This book was *trying* to teach teens about consent. But to do that you had to read *at least* major 5 instances of sexual harassment of our main character ranging from groping to rape. It was awful. I get that the author was trying to show the complexities of situations and how none are acceptable, but it sucked to read all of that. Even the seemingly innocent conversation at the end between a young girl being bullied and her parents saying "he must like you" felt like too much after enduring this book. It was certainly not the book for me. In addition to the men in her life, our main character was also cut off from her family financially by her father, as well as mentally abused. He was clearly suffering from some sort of mental illness, and the mother stayed in denial putting her children in his line of fire for abuse. I hope it helps some people start conversations, but it is very triggering for those with similar experiences. I don't think the topics were handled responsibly by the author.… (más)
