Exit, Pursued by a Bear

I love this book and this title! I feel like this title relates to the book, but it is also creative to use as a title (also, it is derived from a stage direction in one of Shakespeare's books) and I haven't heard of another book similar to this name.

Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston was a great story. I went threw it in a couple of days. It starts off where this girl, Hermione Winters, is at a competing cheerleading camp. She is the co-captain of her cheerleading team along with her best friend Polly. She was enjoying herself and trying to savor her last year of camp (as she is a senior and would not be attending next year). And then she was raped. As the story goes on, I feel that E.K. Johnston did an excellent job of showing readers how the attacked person may feel. She shows us how our behavior to the attacked people may look to them, and what kinds of things a teenager who has been attacked may go through. As Hermione tries to find her way in this new situation, her relationships with others become weaker and stronger. Hermione represents a strong young woman who refuses to let this attack bring her down. I enjoyed reading this from start to finish and I would definitely recommend it.
