You Can Trust Me (Paperback)
Gina Blaxill (author)Published: 07/04/2022
Tackling hard-hitting, important themes within the framework of a gripping YA thriller, Blaxhill's story of drowning and date-rape is a dark journey to the heart of a chillingly real contemporary issue.
Tragedy hits a teenage New Year's party...
When Alana's best friend is found drowned in a pool, the forensic reports discover date-rape drug GHB in her blood. GHB from a drink Alana knows was meant for her. Despite the swirling rumours, the suspected group of boys seem untouchable. To investigate, Alana allows herself to be pulled into their glittering orbit. But among shifting alliances, changing alibis and buried secrets, can she pinpoint which of the boys is responsible before she becomes their next target?
Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson, Karen McManus and Chelsea Pitcher, a bold feminist read with a pacy thriller plot that YA fans will love. Carnegie-nominated author Gina Blaxill looks head-on at privilege, bias and sexual assault in a way that will resonate with young adults today.
