| Summary |
A timely and gutsy YA novel based on the Tony and Grammy Award winning musical from Alanis Morissette, Diablo Cody, and Glen Ballard! Swallow it downâ??what a jagged little pill . . . Â Jagged Little Pill: The Novel follows the intertwining lives of five teens whose world is changed forever after the events at a party. Adopted Frankie struggles to see eye-to-eye with her motherâ??who would rather ignore a problem and preserve their â??perfectâ? life than stand up for whatâ??s right. Jo just wants her mom to accept her queer identityâ??and is totally crushed when Frankie, the only person who really gets her, finds herself infatuated with someone new. Phoenix tries to find his place at the new school and balance wanting to spend time with Frankie but knowing he also has to help out with his sick sister at home. Bella wants to enjoy the end of high school and just head off to college without a hitch. Everyone expects Frankie's brother Nick to be the golden boy, but even though he just got into his dream school, heâ??s not even sure he's a good person. Each of their stories intersects when Bella is sexually assaulted at a party, and it looks like the perpetrator might get away with it. Moving, heartfelt, and raw, Jagged Little Pill: The Novel draws on the musicalâ??s story and gives readers deeper glimpses of the characters. Itâ??s a story about the power of voicing your pain, standing up for whatâ??s right, and finding healing and connection. |
