Red Hood by Elana K. Arnold
4.0

This hovers between 3 and 4 stars for me. It's a strong, feminist re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood, and that I enjoyed. Arnold twisted the story in a unique way, which made it all the more interesting. However, I'm not a huge fan of second person (it makes it harder to get into the story for me) and pieces of the story were definitely graphic. I would recommend this for the older end of YA. There is also a lot of discussion of periods throughout, so if that's something that bothers you, I'd probably stay away.
