If she stays quiet, it will destroy her. If she speaks out, it will destroy everyone.
Kate Franklin's life changes for the better when her dad lands a job at Beacon Prep, an elite private school with one of the best basketball teams in the state. She begins to date a player on the team and quickly gets caught up in a world of idolatry and entitlement, learning that there are perks to being an athlete.
But those perks also come with a price. Another player takes his power too far and Kate is assaulted at a party. She knows she should speak out, but her dad tries to silence her in order to protect the team. The world that Kate was once welcomed into is now her worst enemy, and she must decide whether to stay silent or expose the corruption, destroying her father’s career and bringing down a town’s heroes.
Rachele Alpine is a lover of sushi, fake mustaches, and Michael Jackson. One of her first jobs was at a library, but it didn’t last long, because all she did was hide in the third-floor stacks and read. Now she’s a little more careful about when and where she indulges her reading habit. By day she’s a high school English teacher, and by night she writes with the companionship of the world’s cutest dog, Radley, a big cup of coffee, and a full bag of gummy peaches. Rachele lives with her husband in Cleveland, Ohio, but dreams of moving back to Boston, the city she fell in love with while attending graduate school there.

i'm so happy to finally see this cover
ReplyDeleteI love the pink and the yellow! And I really like that it's not people. Don't get me wrong, I like covers with real models on them, but it's a refreshing change to see something a little different!
ReplyDeleteIt is really a very nice change!<3
ReplyDeleteNICE one! So classy and elegant, if that's the right word(s); you know what I mean. I love that it will be a standout from so many of the identical YA covers these days; kind of reminds me of the design for the original cover of "Speak," which I've always loved. Can't WAIT to read this!!! Thanks for the sneak peek...
ReplyDeleteLOVE it - very, very cool! Looks like a letterpress print on butcher paper. Wonderful design!
ReplyDeleteYay for Rachele
beautiful cover.
ReplyDeleteLovely! and Oh...that tear...I also agree that it's a refreshing change from a lot of YA covers

ReplyDeleteThis is really unusual! It stands out. Congratulations, Rachele!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous cover! I love the iconic imagery and has such a *look* of texture that I know readers are going to NEED to pick it up (and then once they read the back, there's no way they'll be able to put it back down!)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
