Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a riveting contemporary YA novel that examines rape culture through alternating perspectives. A stunning, unforgettable page-turner.
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn’t feel bad about it.
Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best—the language of violence.
While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can’t be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna’s body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher’s kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.
As their senior year unfolds, Alex’s darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

TristTankevækkendeVirkelig god bog, absolut ikke feel good! Blev vild med personerne i bogen og græd mig igennem den sidste del. Alex er hovedpersonen - hun er en indadvendt teenagepige. Hun er The dead girls sister, efter hendes søster blev voldtaget og myrdet og da morderen går fri, myrder Alex ham... This is how I kill someone... Jeg kunne ikke holde ud at se Dexter - Min retfølelse kunne ikke holde til det, men Alex forstår jeg af en eller anden grund bedre og bogen er fantastisk. Den stiller skarpt på slutshaming, voldtægt og ungdomskultur i det hele taget, og den gør det virkelig godt!! Og så er den virkelig godt indlæst 👍Kæmpe anbefaling herfra.
