Last fall I talked a little bit about why Courtney Summers’s upcoming All The Rage needs to be on your radar. Now that there’s an outstanding preorder campaign going on, wherein those who preorder the book can also pick up one of her backlist titles for free, I thought there was no better time to remind readers about this book and to offer up a giveaway.
I’ve talked extensively about how much I love Summers’s raw, gripping, gritty fiction before. I’ve also talked about how she writes tremendous, flawed, and sometimes (often?) unlikable female characters.
The quick pitch for this book is Speak meets Veronica Mars, but it’s more than a quick pitch. This is a book about shame, about rape culture, and about how girls are victims of a world that doesn’t want to believe their stories. It’s feminist, it’s richly written, and it’s just earned its second starred review (one from Kirkus and one from Publishers Weekly). This is a book that will generate discussion and it’s one that should be read by teens and those who work with teens alike.
I’ll write more about this book when release date — April 14 — is closer, but in the mean time and in honor of the fact that you can get two of Summers books for the price of one, I’m going to give away two preorders. This is open to US and Canadian residents. I’ll draw winners in mid-March and let you know you’ve won, order the book, as well as put in the request for your backlist title.
If you’re stuck on which preorder title you want, I can assure you there’s not a wrong choice.

As a Survivor, I cannot read books that focus on rape. They are just far too triggering. However, I am completely appreciative to those who write on our behalf, and this Giveaway is truly amazing. Hopefully, it will help to increase awareness and give voice to those of us who lost ours.
