A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement, edited by acclaimed young adult and middle-grade author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer Brown, Cheryl Rainfield, and many more.
When #MeToo went viral, Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted—male classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work—came back to her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or made to feel unsafe, less than, or degraded.
You Too? was born out of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal stories encompass a wide range of experiences and will resonate with every reader who has wondered, "Why is this happening to me?" or secretly felt that their own mistreatment or abuse is somehow their fault—it's not. Candid and empowering, You Too? is written for teens, but also an essential resource for the adults in their lives—an urgent, compassionate call to listen and create change.

      Narrator Allyson Ryan delivers a visceral, sincere performance of this diverse collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement. Contributors include several well-known authors, all with the message that no one should have to experience sexual assault and that victims are not at fault for what happens to them. Ryan's narration captures the blunt writing style of authors who detail their experiences with candor but provides emotional balance with softer, gentler tones that help listeners better process the intensity of what they're hearing. Though this audiobook is intended for teens, adults will also find this collection relevant. An essential listen for anyone looking to gain awareness of sexual assault, especially those who feel alone in their trauma. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
