Blurb from Goodreads:
When Grace meets Ian, she's afraid. Afraid he'll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After she accuses Zac, the town golden boy, of rape, everyone turns against her. Ian wouldn't be the first to call her a slut and a liar.
Except Ian doesn't reject her. He's the one person who looks past the taunts and the names and the tough-girl act to see the real Grace. He's the one who gives her the courage to fight back.
He's also Zac's best friend.

3/5 stars
Everyone
is calling Grace a slut because she accused Zac, the school golden boy, of
raping her. Grace tries to put on a brave face but every day is a struggle.
Ian, one
of Zac's friends, has a crush on Grace but after her accusation he has to take
Zac's side because he's his friend.
But as
Grace and Ian grow closer, Ian starts questioning whether Grace is the liar
everyone thinks she is.
This
book is about a tough subject but I thought the author handled it well.
I
enjoyed the writing style and found it easy to read.
I really
liked the characters in this book, even the secondary ones, and found them easy
to relate to.
I felt
so sorry for Grace as people called her names and thought that she'd made the
rape up. She was so strong and I was glad she got a happy ending.
It was
interesting to read from Ian's point of view as he started off believing Zac
but then started having doubts.
While I
enjoyed this it didn't grip me.
Overall
this was an enjoyable and emotional read about a difficult subject.
