A young adult novel in verse about consent and finding a voice

Seventeen-year-old Indie Watson is a soccer star who also sees herself as the person keeping her family together. After a party, she is left uncertain about what happened, while classmates’ social media posts add public judgment to her private struggle. The novel traces her movement from self-doubt and denial toward confronting the experience and reconsidering her sense of self. Music, memory, and kindness from strangers are named as part of that journey. Presented as a young adult novel in verse, the book connects its focus on consent with friendship, feminism, and speaking out.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary stories about consent and its social aftermath
  • Readers seeking young adult fiction in verse
  • Readers interested in themes of friendship, feminism, and self-definition

Book overview

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 Faultis a #metoo young adult novel in verse about friendship, feminism, and finding your voice.
