I liked that this story is told from the point of view of a 16 year old boy. I’m not sure you can ever say that you enjoy a book where the central theme is sexual assault but in the context of a Hi-Lo book, I think the author did a good job. It saddens and horrifies me that rape is so prevalent in society that it has its own culture.

Jared’s guilt comes to a head when a photo of Kenzie from the night she was raped is posted on social media.īefore reading this book I’d never heard of a Hi-Lo book.

Jared knew his brother planned this party with his Year 12 friends with the sole purpose of having sex with as many Year 9 girls as possible. Jared, Bree and Kenzie have been friends for a long time, until the events that took place at a party two years ago. ![]()
