Snapshot of the Book

Date read: November 5, 2018.

Finished late at night in the dark with a flashlight. Used to do that to read past curfew. Did it last night because I had no power. Another powerful YA novel tackling important issues. The traditions of this prep school allow a toxic masculinity that ask both main characters to push up against what’s expected of them at school that demands that they conform.

“…Even in a room full of girls it was all about the guys.” ― Brendan Kiely, Tradition
