A review by rcaivano
Sex & Violence by Carrie Mesrobian

Really liked this book. A teen is attacked in a shower at school and his girl is brutally raped. The dad takes him away for the summer and he meets the first friends of his life. He makes some really stupid choices, which sort of made the book unreal to me (he got beat up because he was messing around with another guy's girlfriend, then in his new town is messing around with the girlfriend of a wacko). But he's trying to work through all of his problems and you see him growing and trying to be a better person. Good book.
