Here's a review:

"Richard Peck has never been one to skirt around issues. He is a horror writer in the sense that he faces true-to-life things like censorship, teen drinking, popularity, suicide and rape head on. This particular book is about rape, and the frustration of being the victim. I was a little shocked that the premise of the book was about rape, as all of the descriptions I read (e.g. the back cover of the book) did not hint that this was a serious horror book. But Peck is very good at getting into the mindset of teenages and high school life, even those of 25 years ago. One can hope that situations have improved since he first wrote this book. Also, as I read I was able to fully immerse myself into the character of Gail--I felt her fear, her rage, the unreality of the whole situation, and then her resolution to keep going in the end. This book *is* for older readers--I would give it to high schoolers or older. When needing a book that deals with a serious social issue, Peck is a good bet."
