At cheerleading camp, Hermione is drugged and raped, but she is not sure whether it was one of her teammates or a boy on another team--and in the aftermath she has to deal with the rumors in her small Ontario town, the often awkward reaction of her classmates, the rejection of her boyfriend, the discovery that her best friend, Polly, is gay, and above all the need to remember what happened so that the guilty boy can be brought to justice.
Initial thoughts: I liked Exit, Pursued by a Bear. It made the best out of a heart-breaking story without undermining the gravity of sexual assault. There were important discussions about victim-blaming and how misguided it is, as well as the choices available to a rape victim.
