About this book
From the bestselling author of Sadie, Courtney Summers' All the Rage is a powerful novel about a teenage girl who stays strong and speaks up. 'The footsteps stop but the birds are still singing, singing about a girl who wakes up on a dirt road and doesn't know what happened to her the night before . . .' Romy Grey wears her lipstick like armour, ever since the night she was raped by Kellan Turner, the sheriff's son. Romy refuses to be a victim, but speaking up has cost her everything. No one wants to believe Kellan is not the golden boy they thought he was, and Romy has given up trying to make herself heard. But when another girl goes missing after a party, Romy must decide whether the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear.
Censorship history
In 2025, "All the Rage" by Courtney Summers was banned at the school level across various districts in the United States, primarily due to its sexual content, violence, and perceived immorality. This ban was part of a broader trend where numerous books addressing sensitive topics faced scrutiny from parents and school boards, leading to formal complaints and votes to remove them from curricula. Specific instances included challenges from local parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and school board meetings, which often resulted in heated debates over the appropriateness of the material for students. The ban remains upheld in several districts, reflecting ongoing tensions around discussions of sexual violence in educational settings.
