—High School Only–
Keir is a good kid. He’s popular, he loves his father and his sisters. He’s bound to get a football scholarship to college when he graduates. But bad things happen to good people and when everything gets out of control on the night of high school graduation, it’s hard to make excuses for what happens with his date, Gigi. It’s up to you to decide if Keir’s actions are “Inexcusable.”
With most books, the reader tends to sympathize with the narrator. You see things his way, you trust his point of view, and you expect him to grow as the novel progresses. Sometimes, however, the narrator is unreliable. There’s more going on in the story than he (or she) lets on. When done well, this can be a compelling device. With a controversial subject such as a date rape, it can be an effective way to motivate the reader to come to his or her own conclusions. This is a disturbing book that you’ll want to finish in one sitting, and will be thinking about long after you put the book down.
