My Best Book of 2017
This was easily my best read of 2017. It brought to attention some very real issues regarding sexual harassment/assault in high school and the inequality between not only girls and boys, but between "norm" and "not norm." Reed doesn't shy away from bringing real detail to the issues she portrays, and while not everything is solved, the characters in this learn and grow and it unfolds quite as real life might.

Book Rating
There are multiple trigger warnings for book. Sexual assault of a minor, gun violence, violence against women, white supremacists (racial slurs). This book covers extremely heavy topics but I loved all of it. It is not Ellen Hopkins typical style throughout the whole book I feel how it was done was much needed to put context to this book. There will be characters you relate to, those you hate but in the end it gives multiple perspectives on heavy topics I feel it was covered well.

"Tide’s End explores the many faces of sexual assault and human trafficking, and how life can shatter for those most affected – the victims. Because #MeToo is more common than we can imagine. As is #ChildrenToo and even #BoysToo. It tears apart our families and neighbourhoods. And wherever there is suffering, there are guardians and helpers who still the relentless pounding to encourage Tide’s End."
