Description

A 5-Star Readers' Favorite

Seventeen-year-old soccer star Indie Watson loves her team and her family. At home, she is the glue--the one who holds her family together. But when Indie wakes up sore and foggy after a party, unsure of exactly what happened, she knows one thing: she didn't consent. As her classmates post about her on social media, assigning judgment and blame, she falls into a spiral of self doubt and denial and can't hold it all together anymore. Instead of facing the truth, she runs away. It is through music, memory, and the kindness of strangers that Indie learns to face what happened, and to redefine who she is now: a survivor who won't be silenced.

From the author of the middle grade novel The Order of the Trees and the adult novel The Board, What If It Wasn't My Fault is a #metoo young adult novel in verse about friendship, feminism, and finding your voice.

Critical Reviews

"A blazing act of courage... In the tradition of Laurie Halse Anderson and Chanel Miller, What If It Wasn't My Fault...affirms the healing power of sharing your story. An essential read for survivors and those who love them-and for all teens who need to know they are not alone." -Diana Whitney, author of Girl Trouble

"A clearcut message of female solidarity..." -Kirkus Reviews

"Like Poet X and Brown Girl Dreaming." -Kim Ward, author of Fire on a Circle
