Turning in my Feminist Card

Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real about Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America by Amy Reed

March 8, 2022 by BlackRaven 4 Comments

I am turning in my Feminist Card now I have written this review that will most likely be controversial. While I agree with much of what was said in Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real about Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America edited and introduction by Amy Reed, I had a hard time empathizing with most of the essays presented and therefore, had a hard time reading these essays by twenty-one authors. But then again, that was the point of […]

“There is nothing lonelier than fear.”

The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed

January 11, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

I gave myself two days to read this book, but I didn’t even need that. I started this book at 8:30 PM on Thursday night, and finished it about an hour after I got home from work on Friday. I just couldn’t stop reading it! I was compelled. If I would have been able to read it straight through like I wanted, I probably would have let my book high give this five stars, but it was broken up by sleep and work, so my […]

Another YA takedown of rape culture

November 6, 2018 by MrsLangdonAlger 2 Comments

In The Nowhere Girls, the actual victim of the central crime is not a main character: instead, the story is set in a small town in which a teen girl was gang raped, […]
