Inexcusable by Chris Lynch
4.0

Age: 10th-12th grade (due to younger ages misinterpreting the message)

A valuable perspective of a teen who commits a terrible act: rape. Even more terrible? He doesn't think he raped a girl he truly loved. Mixed up and bottled emotions fuel Keir into a numb life after he tackles a kid during a game and paralyzes him. He becomes so desperate for acceptance, for loving after this tragic accident that he seeks attention everywhere he can get it. Although his back story does not excuse him raping a girl, the girl is not the only victim of Keir's rash emotions. He is, too.
