About this listen

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.

Great

This book was very emotional for me. It was a bit of a reminder of what I went through in my past. However it was very well written and I loved the narration.

Listen with your pre-teen or teen

A good way of getting a conversation started with your children about uncomfortable but important topics.

It was good

I have NEVER been angry or hated 99% of the characters in a book. Everyone in this book let Grace down. People who are meant to protect her, let her down. Her best friends let her down. And she forgave all of them way too easily.

Besides that, it was a good book. A lot of empowerment for Grace. She’s definitely not a victim but a survivor. For someone who had so much stacked against her, she still fought hard for herself. I’m proud of her.

EM & Joe did a great job narrating!

Wow

Where does Some Boys rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a story that every teenager should listen too. Having been in this situation, I wish I had Grace’s strength.

Which scene was your favorite?

The whole book was awesome can’t pick just one scene.

Any additional comments?

This is a tough subject but a real problem in life. Doing the right thing sometimes is the hardest thing to do and Grave’s type of forgiveness, breath taking.

Such an important subject

I think this book is beautifully done on a very hard subject. So many people go thru this with people in there life not believing them or not knowing how to act around them.

Great story about a serious topic

I liked that the story dealt with a very real subject that affects a lot of people. Grace was strong but not inhuman and I liked that she tried to teach her classmates about consent and women's rights. The narration was ok, the male narrator didn't really sound like a teen so the words didn't match the voice. But overall a good story, even paced.

Confused

So the rapist got a way with his crime? The author was not clear at the end. I loved this story but confused at the end. Also, the heroine was such a strong person for such a young girl. However, she was so forgiven for the people who treated her so badly. I would’ve give five stars for all but the heroine character was inconsistent. Meaning she was tough throughout the whole story until at the end. She forgave the “ mean” people as well as the hero so easily. All in all, it was a good story.
