An important novel about being a girl, speaking up and being a survivor.
Courtney Summers was born in Belleville, Ontario in 1986 and
currently resides in a small town not far from there. At age 14,
she dropped out of high school to pursue her education
independently and spent those years figuring out what she wanted to
do with her life. At 18, she knew she was meant to write.
When she is not writing, Courtney loves playing video games,
watching horror movies and obsessing over the zombie apocalypse.
Her favourite colour is green and she's a total feminist.
Emotive and unflinchingly honest
*Heat Magazine*
Hard-hitting, moving and appallingly true
*Maximum Pop*
Lies, secrets and tough choices make for a compelling, complex
novel which fans of small town noir will love.
*Scottish Book Trust*
A brilliant novel that slices right to the heart of what being a
girl in this day and age entails... An absolute triumph. This book
really is all the rage.
*The Book Bag*
Summers does not glamourise the topic of rape and sexual assault
and does not soften what she is trying to say, but instead writes
it so it's loud and clear. All the Rage will make you uncomfortable
in parts, and it will cause shock and it will enlighten you.

All the Rage purports a sort of bruised, battered hope. . . Summers
a juggernaut for producing consistent, excellent young adult
fiction from a formative age. I only hope that these stories and
others like them - stories that shine a light on everything that
can make a victim turn away - can kill doubt and guilt, and a
defiance that says, no. No, this should not have happened.

Very raw, painful and honest

All the Rage is a novel everyone should read, Courtney Summers is a
wordsmith like no other, she will make you feel EVERYTHING

I personally rejoice when an abused, angry girl uses her fury to
bite back. When Romy in Courtney Summers' All the Rage uses her
frustration to fight for the truth

One of the most brutal and unashamed books about rape that I've
ever read, so I especially love that it's for a YA audience

All the Rage is an important, powerful, disturbing novel that will
make you feel frustrated, angry and, yes, maybe even some rage. And
a book that can make you feel that way is one you certainly won't
forget in a hurry.

All the Rage is the feminist YA novel I've been waiting for; an
unflinching, unapologetically angry examination of rape culture,
victim blaming and all the ways in which the world mistreats girls.
Summers understands the complexity of the issues she tackles, and
her teenage characters are authentic in all the best and worst
ways.
