But what does it take to expose a predator when everyone is on his side?
- Autistic Main Character: Meet Ari, a girl who wants to be seen but struggles to speak. Her journey to find her voice after trauma is both heartbreaking and empowering.- Sapphic Romance: In the midst of seeking justice, Ari finds an unexpected connection with Shawni, the last person she ever expected to fall for—and Luis's ex-girlfriend.- Revenge Plot: A mysterious note in a locker is the first clue that leads Ari to The Luis Ortega Survival Club, a secret group of students united to take down a predator.- Confronting Rape Culture: This unflinching story tackles slut-shaming, bullying, and the fight for justice in a high school that would rather look the other way.

Tropes - non-verbal FMC - Autistic rep - found family - sapphic - light-hearted - first love
This is a book I wished I‘ve had read when I was like 15–16 (though that wouldn’t be possible, because it just came out this year). Ariana is a non–verbal FMC, and eventhough I‘m not non–verbal myself, I‘m a quiet person, and when I was younger even more so, so reading this book from her perspective kind of feels familiar to a certain degree and it made me feel understood. Ariana‘s story is also a lot more serious than the cover makes it look like. Yes, it is light–hearted, but it addresses some very heavy topics as well and you should check out the trigger warnings before reading this. In a lot of ways I‘m reminded of the other book by the author, but I think this resonates with me a little bit more.
