Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston

Exit, Pursued by a Bear

by E.K. Johnston

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.

My emotions during this book was all over the place. I raged, grieved, and cheered for Hermione. I was so shocked by the tears I shed. I mean, I knew what this book was about. I saw it coming, yet it was still such a gut punch. I found I cared so much for Hermione, and I was really pleased with the way Johnston depicted her before and after her rape. She incorporated so many things - the medical side, the criminal investigation, the fallout, the healing and the pain experienced by Hermione as well as those who loved her.

This was a really powerful story, and I am so glad I finally read it.
