No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous.

Nobody believed her the first time-and they certainly won't now-but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear.With a shocking conclusion and writing that will absolutely knock you out, Courtney Summers' new novel All the Rage examines the shame and silence inflicted upon young women in a culture that refuses to protect them.
