Tradition by Brendan Kiely
5.0
Gonna be honest, I was nervous about reading a story about sexual assault written by a man. What does that say?
Anyway, I thought this story tackled a lot of really big topics in an accessible and true way. Jules felt totally real to me, I have friends similar to her (but maybe dialed down a bit). And the addition of Bax, who is not only a large dude (which, surprisingly, I don’t see a lot) but is also fed up with sports was refreshing.
Be warned, this book is very heavy, but if you’re anything like me, the payoff is worth it.
