I read this book in about 5 hours . . . I just couldn't put it down. Shout out to Myles for suggesting this one. Another sad one . . .
If I were planning to teach Scarlet Letter again, I would use this book and 13 Reasons Why as introductions to the themes. In this novel, Dena is trying to live down the reputation she earned as an 8th grader when her father caught her in a "compromising position" with an 18 year old boy. Though she has been a good student and a well-behaved daughter, no one can get past seeing her as a slut . . . most of all Dena.
