All Girls by Emily Layden

An East Coast girl's boarding school with a stellar reputation gets knocked off its pedestal when an alum goes public with claims that she was raped and the rapist is still there. Every male staffer is suspect and the school administration does not do itself any favors by trying to sweep it under the rug. A group of activist students who run the school paper and others will not be dismissed and force the school to take a stand. This debut is a dichotomy of old school rituals and hazing amidst the current atmosphere of awakening students. If some of them were naive the first year they will feel very differently by the end of their years there. The author taught at several boarding schools so she knows what she writes about and is completely qualified to speak about this touchy subject. Anyone who was touched by MY DARK VANESSA or THE ELITES will appreciate this story.  4 stars
