Description
I bit my lip as I typed in the words “sexting and teens” and hit “search.” Articles popped up, one after another, and I groaned inwardly. Most of them were about me.
Ashleigh’s boyfriend, Kaleb, is about to leave for college. So at a legendary end-of-summer pool party, Ashleigh’s friends suggest that she text him a picture of herself — sans swimsuit — to take with him. Before she can change her mind, Ashleigh has snapped a photo and hit “send.”
But when Kaleb and Ashleigh go through a bad breakup, Kaleb forwards the text to his baseball team. Soon the photo has gone viral, attracting the attention of the school board, the local police, and the media. In the midst of the scandal, Ashleigh feels completely alone — until she meets Mack at community service. Not only does Mack offer a fresh chance at friendship, but he’s the one person in town who received the text of Ashleigh’s photo and didn’t look.
Acclaimed author Jennifer Brown delivers a gripping novel about honesty, betrayal, redemption, and friendship, as Ashleigh finds that while a picture may be worth a thousand words . . . it doesn’t always tell the whole story.
From the acclaimed author of “Hate List” comes a compelling drama about a girl who seems to have it allNstrong grades, good friends, and the perfect boyfriendNuntil she finds herself at the center of a sexting scandal.
