An emotionally powerful debut that will leave readers breathless." - Courtney Summers, author of Cracked Up to BeFirst-time author Whitney boldly addresses date rape, vigilantism, and academic politics in an intense and timely novel... Besides showing skill in executing suspense and drama, Whitney masterfully evokes the complexity of her protagonists emotions, particularly her intense longing to feel normal again. - Publishers Weekly (Starred review)[Whitney] writes with smooth assurance and a propulsive rhythm as she follows Alex through the Mockingbirds trial process and its accompanying emotional storm of confusion, shame, fear, and finally, empowerment.
