Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10
Rage is a novel that does a great job of giving the reader a glimpse into dating violence and domestic abuse, and how it can affect anyone.
Reeve Hartt always has girls chasing her: she's beautiful and desirable, but she has a dark side. Reeve is cold-hearted and mean, she doesn't allow anyone to get too close and emotionally intimate with her. Anyone who manages to get too involved with her is in for trouble.
Johanna is drawn to Reeve and wants to know her, love her, even. She'll do anything to be with Reeve. But when Johanna finally gets her wish and gets with Reeve, she doesn't know what she's in for; that to be with Reeve means risking her friendships, her job, and things she holds dear to herself. What Johanna so strongly believes is love could be the opposite when it comes to loving Reeve Hartt.
I definitely recommend this book to any teen. It's a beautiful, frustrating story that teaches important lessons about love, relationships, and how dating abuse can take control of someone's life so easily.
