The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Grace, Erin, and Rosina form a unique trio who, despite their differences, come together to spread awareness and redeem justice for a girl who was gang raped the summer before. The Nowhere Girls is not the first story of rape that I’ve read, but it’s one of the heaviest hitters and is done in such a way that made me want to jump out of my chair, yell, throw my fist in the air, cause total chaos for all the girls who have been sexually assaulted. But the biggest non-goal I made for myself was to read books that truly challenge the reader. I decided to branch out and read stories from and about BIPOC and LGBT, which I certainly hadn’t been doing enough. ![]() Sure, picks from my physical pile are good. ![]() When I set up my reading challenge for the new year, I thought about what I wanted to read this year. ![]() For their own personal reasons, Grace’s new friends Rosina and Erin feel equally deeply about Lucy’s tragedy, so they form an anonymous group of girls at Prescott High to resist the sexist culture at their school, which includes boycotting sex of any kind with the male students. Summary: When Grace learns that Lucy Moynihan, the former occupant of her new home, was run out of town for having accused the popular guys at school of gang rape, she’s incensed that Lucy never had justice. ![]()
