But the illusion that this is a sustainable way of life is dismantled brick by brick as the story unfolds and the cost of turning a blind eye rises to terrible heights. At the beginning of the story, no one wants to cross the sheriff. Romy’s situation ultimately places a larger burden on the town and forces them to confront their own fears. What makes All the Rage so powerful and fresh is Summers’ intense, evocative writing. To many contemporary YA readers, this isn’t an unfamiliar story: girl gets raped town crucifies her for telling the truth. As pieces of a night Romy can’t remember begin to fall into place, she learns another brutal truth. She finds herself cornered and terrified by a town that wishes she were gone instead of the beautiful missing girl. Really likes her.īut when those two parts of her life collide and a girl goes missing, Romy has nowhere to hide anymore. At the restaurant on the edge of town, no one knows Romy’s past. There’s only one place Romy can go to find peace. Her accusation becomes the stick her former friends use to beat her. But that’s just what he did to Romy Grey. In this small town, you don’t accuse the sheriff’s son of rape. Martin’s Griffin Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
