A group of intelligent misfits take matters into their own hands after years of watching Tarkin Shaw, Jonesville High's popular wrestling star, get away with groping, gaslighting, and worse.
Send Pics sets itself apart from other YA novels about sexual assault by untangling the institutional systems of privilege and misogyny that protect predators and impact how girls are treated in the aftermath of trauma.
“A gritty read for a woke generation.” —Kirkus
“McLaughlin has crafted a compelling novel that is somehow both timely and timeless: a perfect storm of topical issues affecting our society―and especially connected teens―today, but also an enduring lesson in empathy which reminds us that the truth behind the clickbait headlines often is hidden.” —E.C. Myers, author of the Andre Norton Award–winning Fair Coin, Quantum Coin, The Silence of Six, and more
A relentless and fierce thriller crossed with an incisive story of gender, class and race. It grabs and grabs and never lets go. —Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Radicalized
