This is a classic me too story - lets call it bait and switch, as if its a chapter in some sleazy "how to" manual, which it probably is.
Girl X, is Stacy and ends up being raped. How she is raped is as above. Rape is about power, control and coercion, so we keep being told/taught, but it is quite hard to grasp this as a concept, if you don't feel the need. Its like a muscle that you don't use and have no understanding of, so it catches you unaware.
There is a power triangle in this book, which isn't completely explored. She is physically restrained by more than one boy and in some ways I want to know more about Harry's story and his mates that also play a peripheral/complicit role in this drama. You are left guessing, reading between the lines, although Stacy will never know this either, even though part of her wants to find out.
And it is not always boys that are the bait. Plenty of mean girls pretend to be a friend and do it out of hate.
After the rape, the boys try to assert more power over her life and her ability to tell, by texting, visiting her school and even talking to her mum. ( )
