Some Boys Summary

Some Boys by Patty Blount

Some girls say no. Some boys don't listen.
When Grace meets Ian, she's afraid. Afraid he'll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After she accuses Zac, the town golden boy, of rape, everyone turns against her. Ian wouldn't be the first to call her a slut and a liar.
Except Ian doesn't reject her. He's the one person who looks past the taunts and the names and the tough-girl act to see the real Grace. He's the one who gives her the courage to fight back.
He's also Zac's best friend.

Timely, relevant and discussable, Some Boys manages to tackle difficult topics with engaging characters. Definitely recommended. - Teen Librarian Toolbox
Pass this book along to readers who like realistic fiction and anyone who has read the likes of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson or similar stories about rape and sexual assault. - Stacked
This is a gut-wrenching story that will appeal to most girls, although it would be great if some boys would read it too. Highly Recommended. - Library Media Connection
A bold and necessary look at an important, and very real, topic. Everyone should read this book. - Jennifer Brown, author of Thousand Words and Hate List.
You will be satisfied at the end of this powerful work. - RT Book Review

I highly suggest trying to read Some Boys by Patty Blount if you're looking for a more mature YA romance dealing with serious issues. - Aya M. Productions
I don't usually read reviews before I read a book, but a blogger that I like posted a non spoilery review and I knew that I had to read Some Boys immediately. - YA Book Addict
5 stars. Very well-deserved! This book did quite a number on me - unlike most books (contemporary or not), this one made me FEEL, and feel really strongly. - The Eater of Books
In the vein of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, Some Boys tackles the difficult issues of rape, bullying, slut shaming, etc. which are all incredibly important topics for teens (and parents, teachers, and more) to be aware of and discuss openly. - Pimples, Popularity, and Protagonists
Some Boys was surprisingly emotional and gave me tears in my eyes a lot. It's a heartfelt, deep and powerful story with a romance that made my heart melt in the end. I do recommend this book to everyone who loves contemporary books a la Katie McGarry or Colleen Hoover. - Istyria Book Blog
