We’ve come a long way since Hester Prynne pinned a scarlet letter on her clothes and yet, even today the concept of slut-shaming is still incredibly prevalent in our culture. If you are alive right now, experiencing the world as we live it today, you must read this book. I don’t care who you are – your age, gender, sexuality, profession are completely unimportant. The first think I need to emphasise if how fucking important this book is. *I was given this ARC at YALC by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review* KEY WORDS: Feminism, high school, slut shaming, guys are douchebags. But keeping her head up will take everything she has… Izzy’s never been ashamed of herself before, and she’s not going to start now. Izzy can try all she wants to laugh it off – after all, her sex life, her terms – but when pictures emerge of her doing the dirty with a politician’s son, her life suddenly becomes the centre of a national scandal. Or at least, that’s what the malicious website flying round the school says. Izzy O’Neill is an aspiring comic, an impoverished orphan, and a Slut Extraordinaire. Format: Uncorrected Proof (ARC) Paperback
