Sharp Edges

Sharp Edges by Leah Mol. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780385697224.

For readers of My Dark Vanessa and Lullabies for Little Criminals, this important, electrifying novel about the agony and exhilaration of being a teenage girl will challenge you, unsettle you, and ask you to look at your own experiences with perversions of power. All sixteen-year-old Katie wants is to be seen. Her mom is unwell and spends most days on the couch, her father is out of the picture, and her best friend has abandoned her, leaving her with no one to lean on. So when she finds an online world where women arent ashamed of what they want and consent doesnt feel like the grey area shes used to, she thinks shes finally in control. But as Katie becomes more and more enmeshed in this virtual playground, she begins to realize her newfound power may just be an illusion. Sharp Edges is the story of a girl lost in a grown-up world far darker than she could have imagined—searching for someone to guide her to a place where she can be sixteen again.
